Progetto realizzato con il contributo dei fondi 8xmille dell’Unione Buddhista Italiana

Nel 2026 il percorso “Buddhismo e Complessità in dialogo” prosegue con un ciclo di incontri online che accompagna verso il workshop residenziale di giugno. Attraverso il dialogo tra pensiero complesso e prospettive buddhiste, gli appuntamenti approfondiscono alcune parole chiave utili per orientarsi nel presente, dalla non linearità alla sostenibilità.

The Research Center of the Italian Buddhist Union collaborates with the Complexity Institute and Il Cerchio Monasteri e Centri Zen on a research and training program dedicated to dialogue between Buddhism and complex thinking. This collaboration is grounded in a shared interest in ways of interpreting reality that can hold together processes, relationships, and transformations, with close attention to the concrete conditions in which people and communities act.

In the lexicon of complexity, themes include interdependence, nonlinearity, the emergence of phenomena, and the dynamics of change. In Buddhism, in different forms and languages, similar questions recur: the relational nature of experience, impermanence, the responsibility of actions, and the training of attention and awareness. The project takes a theoretical and practical approach, supported by academic rigor, with the aim of offering concrete tools for facing the challenges of everyday life.

The Buddhism and Complexity project unfolds through public events and training sessions. In 2025 it found an initial expression in a residential workshop at the SanboJi Zen monastery (Berceto), conceived as an intensive laboratory: times devoted to practice, listening, and shared work made it possible to deepen the theoretical content and, at the same time, to observe how certain dynamics become more legible when experienced in a residential setting.

The first meeting of the 2026 series, with Marinella De Simone and Chiara Mascarello, introduces the program’s framework and its main thematic strands.
