The Association of Theravāda Buddhist Universities (ATBU) is an inclusive global network. It unites the people, knowledge and skills of every Higher Education Institution with a specific mission to educate students to understand and practice the Buddha's Dhamma as presented in the Pāli Canon. It provides a framework within which Theravāda Buddhist Universities can:
* better understand each other's policies and activities and be better understood regionally and internationally;
* collaborate in administration, teaching, research and outreach;
* recognize each other's qualifications.
