Fo Guang Shan is a Bodhisattva's place of practice. It advocates that Fo Guang Shan practitioners should first enter the world and then leave it; first save the living and then guide the deceased; first live life and then confront death; and first start small and then expand. The organization prioritizes serving the monastic community and promoting Buddhist causes, actively engaging in various endeavors that benefit sentient beings, including education, culture, charity, and healthcare. The Fo Guang Shan community promotes Humanistic Buddhism, striving to integrate Buddhist teachings with daily life. Today, the Fo Guang Shan community is a cohesive entity, formed by the collective efforts of many dedicated practitioners. It upholds the teachings of the Buddha, inherits the traditions of past masters, and leads future generations towards happiness and peace. The Fo Guang Shan community is built on the spirit of a Bodhisattva's compassionate vows and actions. It organizes Fo Guang Shan practitioners through structures that embody this spirit. The community engages in cultural and educational activities with the aspiration to benefit the world with compassion. The foundation of Fo Guang Shan practitioners' thoughts is to harmonize relationships between individuals and society. The practice of spreading joy and happiness in the human world serves as a Dharma gate for Fo Guang Shan practitioners. All Fo Guang Shan practitioners vow to uphold and propagate this spirit, aiming to expand Buddhism's influence and benefit all beings.
