This philosophy "The Way of Oneness" is one of our most basic principles and pervades within in all of our activities. Our open approach concentrates on individual's growth rather than on a particular dogma.
This is our emphasis because we believe that it will also make sense
to those who may not come from a Buddhist background.

and community activism.  >>>>>>>>
