Buddhist-Based Resources for Relief and Social Change
About
About Clear View Project
Clear View Project is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization based in Berkeley, California. As a partner within the International Network of Engaged Buddhists, it carries forward humanitarian and educational efforts connected to Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India, with outreach to Buddhists and allies in North America and elsewhere.
The project is directed by Hozan Alan Senauke, working with a worldwide network of socially engaged Buddhists.
Our main areas of work include:
We hold responsibility for the former Buddhist Peace Fellowship Burma Project. We stay in relationship with Western Buddhist centers, Burmese communities in exile in the United States, and groups concerned with human rights in Myanmar. We have partnered with Sasana Moli, the International Burmese Monks’ Organization, to support the Burmese sangha. Since the 2007 democracy demonstrations, and through the crisis that returned military rule in 2021, we have sought concrete ways to stand with Burmese people through aid and public witness. Alongside nonprofits such as the Foundation for the People of Burma, we have helped fund relief after repression and disaster, and supported monastic and secular schools for children inside Myanmar and on the Thai-Myanmar border.
We maintain dialogue with “new Buddhists” from India’s Dalit communities, where millions of Buddhists still face poverty and discrimination despite legal protections. Our Dalit-related work is in affiliation with TBMSG, the Trailokya Bauddha Mahasangha Sahayaka Gana, described as a non-sectarian Buddhist movement offering forms of practice suited to the modern world.
We support the development of materials on nonviolent social action, and the design of multi-day meditation retreats drawn from Zen forms, adapted for Indian settings.
The Clear View Blog carries regular columns and essays on engaged Buddhist life, with space for response and exchange among readers.
What the site offers now
Writing and project pages on this site address the Rohingya crisis, interfaith witness, India and Burma, climate and justice, online zazen, and the case of Jarvis Jay Masters on California’s death row. Material is updated as events unfold. The blog and the news and essays collection carry the most recent pieces. The store lists books and recordings that help cover costs. Most program descriptions are gathered under Engaged Buddhism, with separate pages for INEB, Safe Harbor materials, and country-specific work.
Many readers first come to the site after hearing a talk or reading a book on engaged Buddhism. The site is meant to be a working library, not a brochure: you can move from a short blog post to a long PDF, or from a book page in the store to a news item from the same year. When you want to support INEB-related work with a U.S. tax-deductible gift, the support page routes you to the right options. For day-to-day questions, contact remains the best path to the Berkeley office.
