Aims of the World Youth Buddhist Society: Open, Tolerant, Truth-seeking and Altruistic.

In order to help more young people to understand the essence of Buddhism, we set up World Youth Buddhist Society which is a platform for mutual respect, equality, and the truth seeking. On this platform, everyone has the freedom to declare his views. To survive in this world, people not only need to open up the economy, but also need to open up their minds. We learn together, discuss with each other and cooperate with each other, and by doing so, great benefits will be brought to political, academic, and religious spheres. Whether you are Buddhists, non-Buddhists, or other religious believers, you are supposed to have an open, inclusive and altruistic heart – and this is exactly the central concept of the World Youth Buddhist Society.
