OUR VALUES
We believe...
...in the power and potential of human beings to find new and innovative solutions to preserving wisdom traditions and making those traditions accessible to contemporary audiences.
...that both the wisdom from ancient contemplative traditions and, modern knowledge, are of great value to solving many of the contemporary challenges faced by society and humanity.
... that the untapped potential of our youth can be one of the great and overwhelming forces for positive change in our communities.
...in being a catalyst for connecting and empowering individuals and their communities—who historically may not have had exposure (or access to) these powerful sources of knowledge, tools and techniques—to come together to explore, learn, create and transform.
In our commitment to working towards a more ethical and just society, we abide by the ethical standards laid out by AFP (The Association of Fundraising Professionals). Below is a pdf with our Donors Bill of Rights, shared with permission from AFP.
OUR MISSION
We support the spiritual wisdom and
well-being of individuals and society...
The mission of Wisdom Lotus Foundation is to support programs and partners who promote the practice, study, understanding and application of contemplative practices and wisdom traditions, including but not limited to traditional and modern forms of meditation, yoga, mindfulness, devotion, and ethical practices including secular interpretations of these practices suitable for use in modern society, such as integrated with modern psychology.
Inspired by the values and ethics of wisdom traditions, we commit to action in conjunction with other faith-based and secular ethical leaders for positive change for the well-being of individuals and society. In particular, we are committed to charitable and educational activities that promote equity and well-being for women and children.
