智覺學苑 6Lecture : Vision & Mission26 Jan 2012 Buddhism = Metaphysics = Thinker Fast track to your Enlightenment Road Map Academy of Wisdom & Enlightenment (AWE)

智覺學苑 Vision: To search for truth, develop wisdom and to ignite the compassion of all human beings through enlightenment. Mission: To design an academic curriculum that expedites the enlightenment process and realize truth and spirituality. (AWE) 7Lecture : Vision & Mission26 Jan 2012

Why? Humanity is in conflict with itself and with nature at a state unsalvageable by religions, philosophy, science, morality or politics; the latter five are fragments of the whole of humanity. The present course of our civilization is heading towards imminent destruction of the human race and Mother Nature. A collective consciousness of enlightenment in a timely manner is the only salvation. Lecture : Vision & Mission826 Jan 2012

How? The five aspects of humanity – religions, philosophy, science, morality and politics – must amalgamate into a holistic educational system comprehensible to all ages and all cultures. Lecture : Vision & Mission1026 Jan 2012

What? All human actions are preceded by thinking. Our thinking mode determines our value. Our value system determines our behavior. The AWE curriculum is designed to instill an enlightened thinking mode which will lead to a life of meaning, purpose, happiness and prosperity. Your curiosity about religion, philosophy, science, arts and politics will be integrated into a holistic curriculum of humanities. Lecture : Vision & Mission1126 Jan 2012

Who? In the present age of information, the internet is able to provide "knowledge" fast and vast. But "wisdom" on the other hand has become even more remote and inaccessible. AWE' s curriculum enables us to discover and develop an enlightening thinking mode with which, you and your loved ones will benefit from living a life filled with compassion, love, harmony, peace and prosperity. Without Wisdom one's career and life cannot prosper to its full potential. For those who have studied Buddhism for a long time, AWE's curriculum inspires and enables us to fully comprehend and practice Buddha's teachings – the way to enlightenment.
