Welcome to
Buddhark
Buddhark [‘bü – dahrk] is an online resource serving Buddhist practitioners in the Northwest Arkansas region,
Ordinarily, there are a growing number of Buddhist meditation and study groups in this area. Many of these groups are not meeting in person due to the current pandemic. We will update the listings of information for these groups as the threat of the pandemic recedes. For now, please consult our Directory for links to the groups to check for information about their present activities and offerings,
Many regular and special events take place throughout the year– now on zoom, but normally at Buddhist practitioners’ homes and at local retreat centers in this area. Information about them can be difficult to access. Buddhark aims to make all of these groups and events easily accessible from a single location, thereby creating a stronger community of shared spiritual interests here in Northwest Arkansas. We invite you to share up-to-date information about your own Buddhist organization with us.
