Buddhist View International Mission Statement

Buddhist View International Mission Statement

               Given the burgeoning interest in Buddhism throughout western cultures 

and within the United States particularly, it is the purpose of Buddhist 

View International to provide a comprehensive education in Tibetan Buddhism, 

while promoting awareness of all Buddhist traditions and to preserve Tibetan 

culture via spiritual, artistic and scholastic instruction.

Chicago’s combination of rich cultural diversity with its history of social progress 

provides an ideal setting in which intercultural and interpersonal exchange can flourish.  

Hence, we at Buddhist View International are proud to enmesh ourselves in this history 

by promoting the humanitarian motto, “Others before self.”

In order to realize this goal, Buddhist View International conducts the following activities 

on behalf of the community at large, practicing Buddhists, and those interested in Tibetan culture:

I.             Tibetan language classes by highly qualified and dedicated teachers.

II.            Instruction in traditional Tibetan art forms, such as Thanka painting 

               (Buddhist iconography), butter sculpture and sand mandala.

III.           Meditation and Yoga practice guided by a knowledgeable and 

               experienced practitioner.

IV.          Dharma teachings provided by visiting Lamas.

V.            Cultural events and celebrations

VI.          Physical therapy.

 VII         Tibetan Traditional Treatments

At the moment, Buddhist View International is in its fledgling phase, 

thus, our facilities and accommodations are limited.  However, with the 

assistance of our supporters, we anticipate purchasing a location in the near 

future where we can better serve our participants and those in need.

Future Projects:

In view of the urgent need for a Mahayana Center in the Midwest, 

Buddhist View International envisions the following projects:

I              Construction of a traditional, Tibetan Mahayana Buddhist Temple in 

   Chicago where practitioners can congregate and pray.  Although rooted in 

the Mahayana tradition, our Temple will be non-sectarian and will accommodate 

people of all faiths as Buddhism holds all beings in equal regard.

II.            Establishment of a retreat center with facilities for meditation, 

               yoga, physical therapy, as well as Tibetan language instruction.  

We will foster a serene environment where individuals can find solace and            

recuperation from the mundane business of Samsara (the world of ordinary concerns).
