Building a Dream
Our mission is to build the world's greatest Buddhist broadcasting platform — a unified home where temples can share their wisdom, teachers can reach millions, and the global Buddha community can connect, learn, and grow together.
We are entirely self-funded. Every dollar goes toward building a professional studio, purchasing broadcast equipment, and developing the technology needed to bring this platform to life — on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, iOS, and Android.
If this vision resonates with you, we humbly ask for your support. No amount is too small — every contribution brings us closer to connecting the Buddha community from every corner of the world.

Why Buddha TV Matters
The World Needs This Platform
Here is why we are building Buddha TV — and why it matters to every person on this planet seeking peace, wisdom, and connection.
A Scattered Community, Now United
500 million Buddhists live across every corner of the world — yet there has never been a single platform to bring them together. Buddha TV changes that.
Preserving Ancient Wisdom
Thousands of monasteries hold teachings, chants, and ceremonies that the world has never seen. We give every temple a voice before that wisdom is lost.
Content the Community Deserves
Guided meditations, dharma talks, live ceremonies, beginner courses, and cultural programming — all in one place, free for anyone seeking the path.
Teachers Without Borders
A monk in Thailand can teach a student in Brazil. A temple in Tibet can inspire someone in New York. Distance should never be a barrier to the dharma.
Empowering Temples Everywhere
We give temples the tools to broadcast their mission globally — without cost, without complexity, and without compromise.
A Platform Built With Love
This is not a corporation. This is a passion project funded by believers in the power of the dharma to change lives. Every dollar builds something real.
For Temples & Teachers
Want a Channel on Buddha TV?
Getting your temple or teaching channel on Buddha TV is completely free. Contact John D. Abravanel Berdugo directly and he will personally assist you in setting up your channel and getting your content in front of a global audience.
