Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom

‘I believe that at every level of society, the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.’ - The Dalai Lama (Patron of FDCW)

The aim of Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom is to take forward the Dalai Lama’s vision by helping children, youth and adults of all cultures and traditions to develop their innate capacity to be kind and wise, and contribute to peace in the world.

Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom is an initiative of The Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom, a non-profit organisation set up in January 2005. Working at the grassroots, it provides resources, training and connections for use in schools and colleges, healthcare, hospices and drug rehab, prisons, workplace and the home.
