Film Tips

Toke Constantin Hebbeln's film "NimmerMeer" has won a student academy award in the category "Best Foreign Film". The film uses lyrical images to recount a fantastic parable about the coming of age and the power of dreams and was made in collaboration with Frisbeefilms.

The toil of the workingman is the fascinating subject for this documentary from Austrian director Michael Glawogger. A film of few words but plenty of indelible images of people (mostly men) risking their lives with hardly a second thought.

Maitreyaproject

We live in very uncertain times. Humanity and all living things are constantly under threat and there is an urgent need to create the causes for harmony throughout the world. All of the world's major religions and humanitarian traditions teach the ethical values of tolerance, patience, loving-kindness and compassion.

A MESSAGE OF LOVING-KINDNESS AND PEACE

Throughout the world, the Buddha is recognised as a symbol of peace. Maitreya means 'loving-kindness'. The vision of Maitreya Project is to effect peace at every level of society through the practice of loving-kindness: peace within the family, the community and the world, as well as inner peace for the individual.

"Construction of the statue is not the goal – it is the method for achieving the goal. The goal is to benefit as many people as possible for as long as possible."

— Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Maitreya Project

WHO IS MAITREYA?

Maitreya's name is derived from the Sanskrit 'maitri' meaning 'universal loving-kindness'. Infinitely compassionate and all-knowing, Buddhas teach by their words and example in order to guide us along the path to our own spiritual maturity. Maitreya will manifest in our world as a radiantly beautiful spiritual teacher inspiring people to practice the path of virtue, especially loving-kindness.

Maitreya Project is based on the belief that inner peace and outer peace share a cause and effect relationship and that loving-kindness leads to peace at every level of society — peace for individuals, families, communities and the world.

"Maitreya Project’s vision includes schools that focus on ethical and spiritual development as well as academic achievement, and a healthcare network based around a teaching hospital of international standard to provide healthcare services, particularly for the poor and underprivileged".
