The inauguration ceremony for the new four-floor building was attended by SBUBB chancellor and initiator of the project, the socially engaged Buddhist monk and scholar Ven. Dr. Vy Sovechea, who was accompanied by a cohort of SBUBB students, as well as representatives from the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB).

Ven. Pomnyun Sunim established the humanitarian relief organization Join Together Society (JTS) as an expression of the compassion of engaged Buddhism, and based on the principle that helping others is the best way to enrich one\u2019s own life. Charged with bringing hope, empowerment, and self-reliance to underprivileged communities in developing countries, JTS is run and manned by unpaid volunteers, who ensure that all donations benefit marginalized communities. JTS carries out relief work in countries suffering from humanitarian disasters, and has engaged in humanitarian projects in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The relief organization has also earned Special Consultative Status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
