We consider the Buddhayana (Buddhism) as a way of life rather than a creed or dogma. It rests in the conviction that by studying, listening and practicing the dharma, and by entrusting in Great Compassion, symbolized as Amida Buddha, we may realize our true spiritual liberation for the sake of all beings.

Our Dharma- services draw from the whole of the Buddhayana, such as, from the Theravadan, Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan and Pure land traditions. This is following the philosophy of the Hai An Pagoda and Order that affirms the equality of all existing Buddhist schools: "All add the same flavor: Spiritual Liberation". As a result, we find inspiration in all Buddhist scriptures and hold none above the other since the Dharma can only be experienced in our hearts and not in the letter.
