Interest in Buddhism is growing steadily worldwide, especially from people seeking answers in this current global age of clashing ideologies, fanatical strife and senseless violence.

Why is this interest growing so quickly, especially in the West?
Perhaps it is because more and more people now realize that Buddhism is a Teaching that :

  • Emphasizes compassion, tolerance and moderation.
  • Provides a clear path for spiritual and personal development.
  • Has no room for blind faith or unthinking worship.
  • Encourages questions and investigations into its own teachings.
  • Teaches us to take full responsibility for all of our actions.
  • Can be approached, realized and experienced, with immediate results.
  • Says sincere followers of other faiths are also rewarded in the afterlife.
  • Is very much in harmony with modern science.
