First draft of our Mission

Metta is a Pali word that means "loving kindness". The Metta group is a collective of people and organisations that strives to put loving-kindness into practice by helping others.

Metta has the following missions:

  • To help people in need through the provision of goods, finances, and volunteer aid wherever it is required
  • To help any people and organisations to support and coordinate with one another by providing online collaboration and networking services.
  • To build a community of philanthropists from within the Buddhist community but also incorporating other faiths which support the principles upon which Metta is founded.
  • To spread both Buddhists and other interfaith teachings that support the development of a more peaceful, compassionate and loving world.
