The mission of Ocean of Compassion Buddhist Center (OCBC) is to serve the Buddhadharma and nourish the lives of our community members. As a spiritual home with equal compassion for all, it becomes especially important that the teachers, facilitators, leadership staff, and governing structure of OCBC support the welfare of the community members.

The OCBC Ethical Policy codifies our expectations for the conduct of all individuals in a teaching role at OCBC, as well as leadership staff and members in positions of authority. The Grievance Procedures represent our effort to provide a clear system for individuals to express concerns regarding the conduct of teachers, others in positions of authority or center policies. These procedures seek to create a path to satisfactory resolution of problems consistent with our core values of non-harming, compassion, and accountability.
