Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College is rooted in the tradition of the Buddhist philosophy where students develop a comprehensive understanding of impermanence and, through a variety of enquiries and practices, experience their inter-being relationship with all aspects of the living world. The aim of the Buddhist philosophy in our school is to provide an education that leads students to cultivate their quality of being in order to become wise citizens capable of meeting the challenges of their time.
Being able to connect to True Happiness is the result of an education where wisdom becomes the life purpose in whatever professional fields and personal life students will chose to venture. At Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College, students learn to connect to their inner peace where they find the peaceful strength to experience True Happiness. During their schooling, students learn to feel that True Happiness is not about having and possessing things. From introspection, deep listening as well as the progressive development of a clear mind and a clear heart, they know that True Happiness is about being.
