Objectives:

Through forms of art, we aim to realise and to promote Buddhism, to purify states of mind, and to eliminate causes of affliction. Through mutually applying the nature of art and education as the medium, we aim to design sustainable, contemporary art and culture rich, diversified Pure Land promotion programmes with quality education resources and development potentials. Through local and international art and culture interactions and seminars, we aim to realise the positive elements of the Pure Land to mind and body, to regularly organise quality talks and art exhibitions, and to print art and Pure Land publications. Through integrating the motivation of people from the fields of Buddhism, art and education, and with the power of a great vote with the intention to promote Buddhism and to benefit the living beings, we aim to attain the objective realms of purifying the mind and perfecting merit and wisdom.
