9th International Dharma-Dhamma Conference 2025

Abstract

Dharma Dhamma Conference is an initiative of India Foundation, aimed to focus on the essential identity between the Dharma-Dhamma viewpoints because these thoughts are as relevant today as they have been over millennia exemplified by the abiding continuum of Hindu and Buddhist Civilizations. The aim of this annual conference is to facilitate the cross-pollination of ideas and foster harmony between the two ancient Civilizations, so that Dharma-Dhamma becomes a veritable celebration of freedom. It is all the more essential in view of the forces released by Globalization today, to integrate the Orient through the common factor of Dharma-Dhamma link provided by centuries of cultural and civilisational interconnectedness. The conference serves as a platform for dialogue and intellectual exchange on the philosophical, cultural, and social aspects of Dharma and Dhamma, exploring their potential contributions to addressing modern challenges and building a new world order.
