The benefits of being affiliated with a university are almost limitless. It is a very rare and precious opportunity to be able to share Buddhist teachings with the young, intelligent, and idealistic minds of today, and connections with the university makes it all happen in a much broader and far-reaching way.

1. Making Buddhism accessible to many of the brightest and freest minds in the world, most of whom are beginning their adult lives and searching for meaning and lasting happiness.
2. Campus lecture halls for public events.
3. Recognition of respected universities and colleges.
4. Publicity (campus newspapers, billboards, fliers, etc.).
5. Access to scholarships and university grant money for traveling teachers and public events on campus.
6. Web space and email services through the university for its student-groups.
