Introduction: A Road of Hardship
With
the founding of a new American Sangha, the Master was then ready to
embark on an incredible building program for American Buddhism. The
Venerable Master has explained that his life's work lay in three main
areas:
- bringing the true and proper teachings of the
Buddha to the West and establishing a proper monastic community of
fully ordained monks and nuns (Sangha) here;
- organizing and supporting the translation of the entire Buddhist canon into English and other Western languages; and
- promoting wholesome education through the establishment of schools and universities.
