OUR LOGO
The logo of the Sri
Bodhiraja Foundation embodies its mission statement - to bring about the
happiness and well being of the whole environment through the development of all
sentient beings. This is also the ultimate goal of the practice of Buddhism.
The Bodhi tree is sacred in the Buddhist tradition, symbolic of the Buddha’s enlightenment. The logo of the Foundation comprises three Bodhi leaves. The first represents human beings, the second non-human beings and the third nature. All three are inter-dependant and closely related. The development of one has significant influence on the others and the results are mutually beneficial. As human beings, we should aim, not only for our own development, but also for the improvement of the world around us.
The three rings
within the first Bodhi leaf signify the three facets of human development. The
outer ring represents morality (Sila), the middle ring concentration (Samadhi),
and the inner ring (Panna). A fully developed being is one who has attained
development in all three aspects.
