Core Philosophy

The goal of Buddhist education is to attain wisdom. In Sanskrit, the language of
ancient India, the Buddhist wisdom was called “Anuttara-samyak-sambhodi”
meaning the perfect ultimate wisdom. The Buddha taught us that the main
objective of our practice or cultivation was to achieve this ultimate wisdom.
