The
purpose for which the Mahayana Ministries is formed is to provide for
the spiritual and psycho-social well-being of all people and to advocate for the poor and suffering every where.
We are working to fulfill this purpose through a variety of projects and
programs. What's in a name? Most people have never heard the word Mahayana. It is used to describe schools, philosophies and approaches to life, but it always points to an attitude of compassionate love and altruism for all beings. That's Mahayana Ministries. The logo of the Mahayana Ministries is the name around a tree with long roots. It is a reminder of the faith saying “a tree with deep roots can withstand the worst storms, but it can not grow roots as the storm approaches.” The Mahayana Ministries seeks to enable people to grow deep spiritual roots and find relief from pain and suffering before they are overcome by the storms of life.
FOUR REASONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO MAHAYANA MINISTRIES 1. Mahayana programs are for all people. Yes, we are a non-profit organization that focuses on helping people in need, but very often people appear to be doing fine when they're really not. We don't wait for the obvious. We don't decide what constitutes being needy enough. The world's wealthiest person may be spiritually destitute. 2. There are lots of excellent programs for the poor, indigent and various needs, and we either participate, contribute or have such programs, BUT we also seek out those who fall through the cracks in the system - e.g. those who make too much for assistance but not enough to care for their family... those who are working but don't have insurance or insurance won't cover or their coverage is so low they can't afford the difference ... those who are suffering and have nowhere to turn. 3. Mind, body and spirit is more than a cliché or a motto for the YMCA .... it is a reality. Quality research has proven that we need to care for our mind, body and spirit to be healthy. Why do you think good hospitals have physicians, counselors and chaplains? All beings want peace and freedom from pain. Don't you? The Mahayana path is the compassionate path of care for the spiritual and psychosocial needs of all people. Even if you are the richest person in the world you experience upset and suffering. Our goal is to touch your pain with love and compassion no matter who you are. 4. Our vow is to do everything we can to help all people be free from suffering and find peace in their lives.
