Welcome to the CCEB!
The CCEB coordinates Buddhist centres in Catalonia. It was born in 2007 in response to the need to coordinate and create synergies between Buddhist organisations and centres in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. It was created to present and represent Buddhism in the society into which it had become integrated over the previous thirty years or more. [read more]

EASTERN BUDDHISM IN THE WEST - Challenges and proposals
Barcelona, 27 November 2010
Throughout its history, ever since its origins more than 2,500 years ago, Buddhism has blended into and adapted to the different host cultures that have received it. This year's conference dealt with the main trends and unique characteristics of Buddhism today, as well as the religion's challenges and proposals in our Western society.
During the conference, various fundamental themes were discussed, including: transfer and practice, the perspective and contribution of women, social commitment, and spirituality and science. These themes were dealt with through discussions between experts in each field and open, participatory debates that served to gather together the opinions and experiences of the practisers of the various Buddhist traditions.
