Projects for disadvantaged women and children in India
Our primary beneficiaries are some of the poorest, most disadvantaged people in the world. Most of our profits go to a Buddhist womenâ??s organisation in India, providing women and children with:
    â?¡ Education
    â?¡ Vocational Training
    â?¡ Medical Facilities
    â?¡ Micro Finance
    â?¡ other projects to help oppressed and disadvantaged women  and children to help themselves
Local Buddhist activities 
The balance of our profits supports the Sydney Buddhist Centre in Newtown.
The Sydney Buddhist Centre is part of an international network dedicated to communicating the essential principles of the Buddhist teachings in ways appropriate to contemporary society, and applying them to our modern lives.
Since 1981, it has provided Sydney-siders of all backgrounds and lifestyles with affordable meditation classes, retreats and study based on the Buddhist path of Ethics, Meditation and Wisdom. 
Environmental responsibility
Buddhism, the source of our inspiration, teaches the wisdom of the interconnectedness of all things, and a compassionate attitude towards all living beings. As an expression of that we also seek to encourage responsible and sustainable use of resources
