Moral upliftment (SILA), mental purity (SAMADHI) and deeper wisdom (PANYA) are the basis for all these noble causes. Ultimately a healthy society is defined by how peaceful and happy the people are. The MBS strives to achieve that goal collectively in collaboration with likeminded people, organizations and government.
