Lama's Vision

Lama Yeshe was a Tibetan Buddhist monk with an extraordinary vision.  Lama’s vision was to develop a program of education that helped to nurture the innate positive qualities in people of all ages.  It was not Lama’s wish that everyone become Buddhist, but rather that they discover the unifying, secular essence of wisdom and compassion found in religions and cultures around the world.  Lama’s vision was to educate people’s hearts and minds using a holistic, integrated and scientific approach. Since Lama’s passing in 1984, his student, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, has been the holder of Lama’s vision. 

Lama Yeshe

“There is profound knowledge and wisdom existing everywhere. What is lacking is the universal language which universal people can understand scientifically, logically. One subject contains the essence of religion, of philosophy, of psychology,all contained in the whole. These all have to exist simultaneously without separation… Education should bring everything together, not separate them”

Lama Zopa

"The purpose of Universal Education is to raise children to be kinder to others, more loving, compassionate, to grow up with more universal responsibility….  In this way the child brings more peace, harmony and happiness to their family, friends, and the world"
