“I can go two to three weeks without posting on social media, and then post two to three times in one week,” Reyes said. “I enjoy it so much because it is not a job, and I don't want to have to meet a certain quota or share more than I'm comfortable posti

Socially engaged Buddhism is a contemporary movement that applies Buddhist teachings and practices to social, political, environmental, and economic issues. Rooted in the values of compassion, wisdom, and ahimsa or nonviolence, socially engaged Buddhism seeks to alleviate suffering not only on an individual level but also across societies and global systems.
Traditionally, Buddhism has often been mischaracterized as detached from society or overly mystical. We know from the stories of the Buddha’s life, however, that it was intense feelings of compassion for those around him – people and animals – that drove him to search for a way out of suffering for everyone. The socially engaged approach to Buddhist practice thus highlights this interconnection between personal transformation and societal change, demonstrating that true well-being, and perhaps even enlightenment, cannot be fully realized in isolation from the world’s challenges.

The Fourteen Precepts of Engaged Buddhism
The Order of Interbeing (Tiep Hien) was formed by the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh in the mid’s, at a time when the Vietnam War was escalating and the teachings of the Buddha were desperately needed to combat the hatred, violence, and divisiveness enveloping his country.
On the full moon day of February , Zen Master Nhat Hanh ordained six members into the Order—three men and three women ranging in age from twenty-two to thirty-two. All were board members of the School of Youth for Social Service, which he had helped found the year before. During the ceremony, the six ordainees vowed to study, practice, and observe the Fourteen Precepts of the Order of Interbeing, a wonderful blend of traditional Buddhist morality and contemporary social concerns.
For ten years, no new members were permitted to join the Order&#;s core community. In fact, this &#;period of experimentation&#; was extended until , when Nguyen Anh Huong, a microbiologist and lay meditation teacher, became the seventh member of the Order.
Today, there are thousands worldwide who regularly recite the Fourteen Precepts of Engaged Buddhism, which remain uniquely applicable
