Ven. Ming Yu of American Buddhist Confederation on fighting the COVID-19 Pandemic
Venerable Ming Yu
American Buddhist Confederation
______
On Monday, during the 2020 James Parks Morton Interfaith Awards Gala, we are delighted to have the opportunity to present this year’s Faith Justice Hero Award to the President of the American Buddhist Confederation, the Venerable Ming Yu.
Venerable Ming Yu, on behalf of the Interfaith Center of New York, thank you for your incredible efforts to mobilize your community. Collectively, your temples brought supplies to numerous hospitals across the boroughs, and you showed great leadership and collaboration with local civic leaders who stepped in to help as a result of your generosity. Congratulations on the award you are about to receive.
Please join use Monday evening online to see the Ven. Ming Yu receive the 2020 #FaithJusticeHero Award. In the meantime, we are proud to share with you details of the American Buddhist Confederation’s incredible Covid-19 relief efforts, as shared with us by the Ven. Ming Yu himself.

The seeds of the International Buddhist Confederation were sown in the Autumn of 2010, during Ven. Lama Lobzang’s visit to Sri Lanka. There, some respected Sangha members suggested that India host a large-scale international Buddhist conference. The planning then began for one of the largest international gatherings of Buddhists ever to take place on Indian soil – the Global Buddhist Congregation. The suggestion was then made that a permanent umbrella body should be formed to carry the work and vision of the Global Buddhist Congregation forward into the future and to represent the enduring interests of Buddhism in the world.
From August 27-28th 2011, a working sub-committee met at the India International Centre in New Delhi to prepare the ground for the formation of this international Buddhist body.
In November 2011, New Delhi was host to Global Buddhist Congregation (GBC) that was attended by over 800 delegates and observers from Buddhist organizations and institutions from around the world, who came together to address common issues facing the modern world from the perspective of the Holy Dhamma.
