WHAT IS ANZBYC?
The Australia New Zealand Buddhist Youth Conference (ANZBYC) was first held in Sydney in 1997, with the guidance of Venerable Man Chien. Since then, various Young Adult Division (YAD) branches across the Oceania region took turns organising this conference.
It provides an opportunity for youths to practice Buddhism in an inclusive and collaborative environment and to apply the teachings in a practical manner within their everyday lives. The conference also serves as a means for youths to develop vital skills such as teamwork and leadership.
This year's theme will be "It's Good To Have You: To Inherit and Inspire" and is hosted by Syndey YAD. We're excited to bring together like-minded youths from different parts of Oceania to get the opportunity to form life-changing affinities with one another.
