GOAL I: To build the first Buddhist temple in Estonia. The Estonian Theravada Sangha has a dream to build the first Buddhist temple in Estonia, with the aim to unite all the Buddhists, regardless of school.
GOAL II: To translate the Tipiṭaka. The Tipiṭaka, or Three Baskets, is the name of a collection containing all Buddha’s teachings. Our aim is to translate the Tipiṭaka into Estonian and make it available to all interested persons withfree of charge. To achieve this goal, 2 international conferences have been held in Estonia to bring together those who are interested to participate in this very important project.
GOAL III: To renovate The WDS Meditation and Development Centre. In 2016, the head monk of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai donated a house to ETS on the island of Aegna. As the house is old and in urgent need of renovation, ETS has begun collecting donations for its renovation.
GOAL IV: Establishing The International Dhamma-Vinaya Institute.The main aim of the Dhamma-Vinaya Institute is to provide to Buddhist followers, bhikkhus and bhikkhunis a practical Buddhist education that would provide a thorough knowledge of the Buddha’s teachings and the interpretations of its various today’s schools, while offering a practical output to bring out peaceful and harmonious life to both local and international communities.
Those who are willing to contribute to the success of The Estonian Theravada Sangha projects are warmly welcome.
