Vision, Mission and Values
Vision
To play a vital role in the Buddhist, cultural and heritage landscape in Singapore and be an outstanding centre of Buddhist art and culture.
Mission
Inspired by Maitreya Buddha's true love for the world, we seek to:
- Promote Buddhism through relic veneration, culture and art;
- Provide Buddhism courses and research;
- Relieve the suffering of all sentient beings;
- Provide welfare services to the needy regardless of race, gender, religion or nationality.
Values
We are guided by the following values:
- Boundless loving-kindness (maitri) - Giving happiness to others.
- Boundless compassion (karuna) - Helping to ease the suffering of others.
- Boundless joy (mudita) - Giving joy to others and feeling joyful because of their happiness.
- Boundless equanimity (upeksa) - Treating everyone impartially.
If you love simply because the sentient beings need your love and not because they are your family or of same nationality or religion as you, you are indeed practising true love.
