There is no such thing as “the one Buddhism”

Just as little as we have “the one Zurich”, “the one Beijing”, or “the one Delhi”. Buddhism is varied and diverse, just as a city has many faces. In the end it is the neighbourhoods, streets, and people in sum that make up the essence of a city. In the same way, stories, artworks, and voices become merged in the web app to create an image of Buddhism and possibly provide answers to the question: “What is Buddhism?”

Find your own path through the application and discover the many facets of Buddhism on your journey.
