Why?
• Humanity is in conflict with itself and with
nature at a state unsalvageable by religions,
philosophy, science, morality or politics; the
latter five are fragments of the whole of
humanity.
• The present course of our civilization is heading
towards imminent destruction of the human race
and Mother Nature.
• A collective consciousness of enlightenment in a
timely manner is the only salvation.

How?
The five aspects of humanity –
religions, philosophy, science,
morality and politics – must
amalgamate into a holistic
educational system comprehensible
to all ages and all cultures.

What?
• All human actions are preceded by thinking. Our
thinking mode determines our value. Our value
system determines our behavior.
• The AWE curriculum is designed to instill an
enlightened thinking mode which will lead to a life
of meaning, purpose, happiness and prosperity.
• Your curiosity about religion, philosophy, science,
arts and politics will be integrated into a holistic
curriculum of humanities.

Who?
• In the present age of information, the internet is able to provide
"knowledge" fast and vast. But "wisdom" on the other hand has
become even more remote and inaccessible.
• AWE' s curriculum enables us to discover and develop an
enlightening thinking mode with which, you and your loved
ones will benefit from living a life filled with compassion, love,
harmony, peace and prosperity.
• Without Wisdom one's career and life cannot prosper to its
full potential.
• For those who have studied Buddhism for a long time,
AWE's curriculum inspires and enables us to fully comprehend
and practice Buddha's teachings – the way to enlightenment.

Transfer of merit
By this effort, may all
sentient beings be free of
suffering.
May their minds be filled
with the nectar of virtue.
In this way may all causes
resulting in suffering be
extinguished, And only the
light of compassion shine
throughout all realms.
