Healing Hearts & Mending Minds is at the core of everything we do

Empowering people throughout the world in the pursuit of Enlightenment through wisdom, virtue and vigour by advancing spiritual development and maximising human potential for the benefit of mankind. This is our purpose, the reason we exist.

Though one should live a hundred years foolish and uncontrolled, yet better is life for a single day lived moral and wise.

Sermons

There is no better medicine to heal an ailing mind than the pristine teachings of the Perfectly Enlightened One. There is no better good that can be done by man than to dispense His teachings out of compassion.
