The Young Buddhist Association Indonesia (YBAI) is a non-profit organization based in Surabaya, Indonesia.[2][3]

Overview

[edit]

Young Buddhist Association Indonesia is a youth organization that promotes youth leadership development and the study of the Buddha's Dharma.[2]

Buddhism is divided into three major sects: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.[2] Young Buddhist Association (YBA) Indonesia is composed of young people from many Buddhist sects and is led by Yayasan Muda Mudi Buddhis Bersatu.[2] Despite the differences between the sects that these young people belong to, they create even more distinct and unique connections that allow them to complement one another.[2] Buddhism's various schools (sects) are comparable to the various clothing choices people make on a daily basis, which preserves the core of Buddha's teachings in all of them.[2] In this context, young Buddhists not just an organization to advance in Dharma but also a chance to thrive in this religiously diverse Indonesian culture.[2]

In the early years of establishing the community, YBAI transcended sectarianism, despite opposition from those who did not have a deep knowledge of Dharma.[2]
