The Foundation has continued to serve the community well with frequent visits to elderly homes in the area and providing much appreciated services when there are serious family grievances.

We continued to organised major events in Buddhist calendar and for children, the Moon Festival in September and weekly talks on Buddhism and Kung Fu classes.

Our Traditional Chinese Medicine’s clinic manned by volunteer are very popular providing access to medical treatments at a very low cost for the elderly and those on low income.
1.2 Future and Planned Activities

We continue to receive and welcome visiting monks from Vietnam and other countries.
-
We also continue to sponsor able monks and nuns to come to help in our centre or to study English or other vocational skills in the U.K. The returnees would then bring much needed skills to help with the activities at their own temples in Viet Nam.
-
Our aim for 2023 is to continue with our activities and paying special attention to developing young generation both spiritually through meditation and physical wellbeing and self-disciplined through our Kung Fu classes.
