2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the EBU! In this concluding episode of the year 2024, we reunite with Stefano Bettera to reflect on the past year and look ahead to future gatherings. Together, we aim to discuss and imagine what Buddhism could evolve into by 2075. We explore the challenges of modernity and society, and the role Buddhism could play in shaping a brighter future for tomorrow.
