Social service as part of our mission


There is a social service component to our mission to fulfill the vision of our spiritual guides:

Providing compassionate service to neighboring areas, especially poor children, adolescents and adults.

Our program of social service projects began in 1991 when a destitute was found near death on the road. Taking care of the man developed our clinic. In the reassuring years, our schools and other projects such as animal liberation were established, nurtured and developed.

Our project
Maitreya School - a primary school providing free education for local children

Shakyamuni Buddha Clinic - A free hospital serving poor, local people through a variety of medical systems
