✨ A beautiful ceremony and event honoring *Vesak Day* at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Started by the Second Gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, and now in its fourth year, DhIA is proud to be able to support this important recognition of Vesak and to have watched the event grow every year since its inception. Thank you to Wangmo Dixey for all your efforts to bring together Buddhist leaders from across the globe and throughout the traditions! We also thank those involved with the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI), who organized the event.
Dharma Into Action Foundation (DhIA)
Non-profit Organizations
Bringing together Dharmic leaders collaborating in an action-oriented foundation addressing secular needs in communities
About us
Dharma into Action Foundation, Inc. (DhIA) is an association of Dharmic American leaders and philanthropists working to preserve and celebrate the philosophy, culture and traditions of South Asia and East Asia embodied in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. DhIA strives to innovate, integrate, and implement Dharma educational and social service initiatives in support of the Dharmic community and the broader community at large. DhIA accomplishes this by establishing relationships, partnerships, institutions and solutions across educational, business, industry, policy, community service and cultural arts domains. DhIA brings together Dharmic American leaders, tech entrepreneurs, business executives and philanthropists collaborating to create an action-oriented foundation that addressing needs in the community while embodying secular and inclusive core values. DhIA is focused on three main programs and audiences: - Women of Dharma: with an initial focus on changing the culture for women in finance - Students & Young Adults: by reaching out to youth from Dharmic traditions on college campuses with a pilot program - Meditation and Mindfulness: through practices that address issues in our own community (e.g. teenage suicide) and the broader community (e.g. frontline workers). Our approach is to partner, pilot, demonstrate, and propagate best practices, to then scale open-source action that connects researched needs with evidence-based practices.
