Sentient beings are numberless, we vow to save them all…
The Bodhisattva path that we practice is one of awakening, selflessness and endless generosity. And so, following in the Buddha’s teaching and example of supreme wisdom and compassion, WLHZ actively engages in local and global opportunities to be of service and to help. We partner with monastics, clergy, and laity to advance the dignity of all sentient beings by educating, providing opportunities for spiritual and material support, and strengthening community connections.

“May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.” — Shantideva
