We aim to teach Buddhism, encourage the large public to practice Buddhist spiritual life and promote inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue, irrespective of any differences in one’s origin, skin colour, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. We encourage e-students as well as Buddhist communities, who wish to broaden their Dhamma knowledge with a better and clear understanding of ancient Buddhist philosophical teachings, especially by learning from authentic authorities based on the teachings of the Buddha as found in Pali and Chinese canonical scriptures (Tipiṭaka/Tripiṭaka).
