Buddha Smiles

Founded by Indian University Professor and deeply engaged social worker, Dr. Manivannan, Buddha Smiles is a humble grassroots initiative that aims to build a peaceful, nonviolent and just world. Buddha Smiles is a project of the Spirit in Life Movement, a registered Public Charitable and Educational Trust in India. Buddha Smiles draws its inspiration from Gandhian philosophy of Sarvodaya (Welfare of All) which recognizes that moral, cultural, social, economic and political dimensions are all necessary components of holistic development.
