Definition of Six Directions is extraceted from the website of " Buddhism Study and Practise Group at the State University of New York at Stony Brook". The BSPG is a student club at SUNY-Stony Brook. It was founded in 1998 due to the lack of a Buddhist organization in SUNY-Stony Brook and that there were students who felt the need for such an organization. The BSPG was established to serve as a conduit for those who are interested in practicing Buddhism and for those who want to know more about Buddhism.
