Our Mission

We uphold the humanistic, scientific, rational and non-violent principles contained in the Buddha's teachings, based on right understanding and right view.

We show deep respect for all religions and the cultures of all nations, and we actively promote inter-religious and inter-cultural harmony and peaceful co-existence to achieve genuine lasting world peace.

We dedicate our efforts in eradicating illiteracy and poverty through providing holistic education for children and adult alike.

We promote love and compassion through the practice of meditation in action. Meditation in action is the conscious cultivation of the positive mental qualities.

We promote interfaith values:

We are ever thankful to our Spiritual Masters who out of love and compassion, protect and guide us along the path of righteousness and liberation. - Venerable Sanghasena

Buddha taught: Just as, with her own life, mother shields her only child, from hurt and pain, so let all embracing thoughts of love for all beings be yours.

Jesus Christ taught: Resist not evil; but whosoever shall slap one cheek, turn the other too. And if your shirt is taken from you, give your coat too, let him have your cloak also, love your enemies, bless them, that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and prosecute you.

Hinduism taught: We should not do for others what we may not like for ourselves. He who feels at his own the joys, sufferings and sorrows of others, is a true religious man. The life giving breath of other beings is as dear to him as the breath of his own self.

Prophet Mohammed taught: Do good to all the creatures, help the oppressed, and love your fellow beings. No one can be called as a Muslim unless he practices tolerance and accepts the essential truths of all other religions as true. The meaning of "Islam" is peace for all.

Guru Nanak taught: Give up the ego idea, lead a pure and holy life, love and serve every being as your own self, practice humility, love, mercy and forbearance in abundance.

Mahavir taught: Ahimsa Paramo Dharma not to injure any living being but to love all beings is the highest kind of Dharma.

Judaism taught: You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his men or maid servants, nor his ox, donkey, nor anything, that belongs to your neighbor.

Shinto taught: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and do no evil. Evil deeds recoil on the doer. Give up pride and practice kindness and love to one and all.

Confucius taught: Blame yourself as you would blame others; excuse others as you would excuse yourself. Obedience is better than reverence.

Taoism taught: Always accumulate virtues. Treat all with love and gentleness. Respect elder and the aged, and love all younger than you. Do not injure any living being, always be compassionate.
