Mission Statement

For a long time, there has been a strong intention of establishing a much-needed home for the elderly, for the benefit of all. Although there are countless reasons why this is needed, we will give a brief explanation.

The two main reasons being to serve the elderly and to serve the Dharma by means of direct practice. From accounts of the state of affairs of our local elderly population, we understand that some do not have the usual safeguards of medical care and monitoring as they get older.

Some, are cast aside from the community and therefore when they get sick and are approaching death, there is no one even to give them water or medicine. Some, when they die, are abandoned and no one is even aware of their passing.

Likewise, when the ordained are studying in the monastery, they are not able to look after their parents and this can create many obstacles for their Dharma path.
