We seek the Truth and follow the Bodhisattva path
The Korean Institute for Buddhist Studies was founded in 1974 under the leadership of Professor Rhi Ki-yong, one of the foremost Buddhist scholars and a highly respected lay Buddhist leader in twentieth-century Korean. Based on the principle of Mahayana Buddhist thought laid out by its founder, the institute has conducted academic research and pursued a lay Buddhist movement for the last fifty years.
We welcome the participation of everyone interested in an intelligent and open-minded understanding of Buddhism and practice based on it.

事事入玄門
時時歸源路
處處一味心
生生皆涅槃
.
일마다 현묘함으로 들어가는 문이요
곳마다 근원으로 돌아가는 길이며
때마다 한가지 맛의 마음이요
생마다 모두 열반이라.
