Aim
Bring awareness and engage in compassionate practise towards those suffering beings who cannot speak of their right to live in peace; ease the suffering of those helpless animals who are slaughtered for meat, ritual sacrifice, the cruel sport of hunting, or are abused in farms and industries and wherever they may suffer; promote world peace, interfaith harmony, protection and conservation of the environment, “the mother Earth” giving a helping hand to destitute children in their education and any such programmes of necessary assistance, who would otherwise be left suffering great difficulties in their struggles to survive.
History
In 1998, he founded the Universal Compassion Movement after receiving support and blessings from H.H. the Dalai Lama and openly campaigned for vegetarianism and Universal Compassion around the world.
