Triple Gem Society
Triple Gem Society is a Buddhist organization that has two main objectives:
1. To help people have happier, more peaceful lives by teaching meditation and other practical life-enhancing tools.
Bhante Wimala's message reflects his spiritual grounding in Buddhism and his practical explanation of the following:
- Meditation for a happier and more peaceful life
- Compassion as a means to happiness
- Guided meditation for more restful sleep
- Stress management and personal well-being
- Overcoming addictive behavior
- Buddhism and its tools to calm the mind
- Karma and its role in answering life's questions
2. To provide humanitarian relief to help alleviate suffering around the world and improve the lives of those who are in need.
All of our humanitarian projects have several aspects in common:
- They are done in the spirit of respect and compassion for all people involved
- They must have a good chance of success
- The donations will reach those who are most in need
- When possible, those who are helped are empowered to help themselves
