The Rohingya people are highly persecuted, especially in Rakhine State of Myanmar (Burma). The Myanmar government is engaged in an ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people. Over 700,000 Rohingya were forced to leave their homes, with many refugees fleeing to Bangladesh. The violence is justified through nationalist and religious ideology, including a gross distortion of Buddhist rhetoric and values.
The Buddhist Humanitarian Project is an initiative organized by the Clear View Project, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization based in Berkeley, California. A partner organization within the International Network of Engaged Buddhists, the Clear View Project has worked extensively on humanitarian projects throughout Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India.
The current focus of the Buddhist Humanitarian Project is to provide support and aid for Rohingya communities in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India. At present our primary focus is on organizing a mass petition to the Myanmar State Sangha Committee, and raising funds for humanitarian relief. We encourage you to read the letter, sign the letter, and make a donation to support those most affected by the violence.
