Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of religion'
Our charity is dedicated to sharing the Buddha’s teachings through classes, workshops, retreats, and meditation. We aim to support personal growth, inner peace, and mental wellbeing. We promote community cohesion by hosting social events and engaging in outreach to share original Buddhism and encourage interfaith dialogue. We undertake charitable activities to support those in need, including vulnerable groups and disaster victims. Our commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in eco-friendly projects that foster care for the planet. We also support the Sangha to preserve the Buddhist tradition and ensure the Dharma is passed on to future generations.
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: Our purpose is to provide free-to-access and open-to-public opportunities to learn, practice, and rediscover the Buddha's original teachings based on the Four Noble Truths and the principle of dependent origination.
