The textbook at the base of the Bodhi tree represents the intellectual foundation and various sciences that will facilitate learning.

 

Basic Beliefs of the University

Life conditions of people in developing countries have been affected by the global

development plan to create wealth and quality of life for certain groups of people, only about 20 percent of the population of the country, the gap between the wealthy and poor people. More broadly, destruction of raw materials, environmental resources of the world, trafficking, addiction, crime, accident, public debts, new types of ailments as well as family disunity have expanded extensively in the society in which the state tries to develop.

 

Another very important phenomenon is the result of development where the society has retreated  from  the  religious  principles  that  hold  the  mind.  Lack  of  strength  and

 

insecurity in mental state pushed the man to the path of ploys and insufficient consumption resulting in human behavior problems and other social problems that followed on a large scale.

One of the most important tools that contribute to the development of society and the nation and enhance the quality of life for all mankind is education. Modern education system under the aim of creating material growth, concepts and guidelines for educational management for the people were made to believe that graduates at each level must go to serve the state and the economy which all serve large capital groups in each nation. Therefore, this will be regarded with honor and dignity in society.

From the situation and problems of social and national development, therefore, the project of Bodhisastra University has a strong belief that:

• Social and national development in order to achieve true prosperity should be based on personal development with goodness, beauty, which is the foundation of the core teachings of each religio
• Every human being should be given the opportunity to learn, to seek alternatives and

create new options for oneself by having an organization that believes in alternative education with support systematically promoted.

• Education should be open for all people to have access through long-distance communication in all forms as well as having the lowest educational costs for people

with disabilities.

• True religious principles should be propagated to encourage human beings to have access to the teachings and realize the value that exists including the coexistence of

each individual under mutual respect.

• Education should create social entrepreneurs who believe that human wealth should be in harmony with natural resources and the environment including the facilitation and caring for disadvantaged people more than others in society.
