Mission
As one of the ChenWu Foundations on-going long-term projects, the printing and distribution of select religious and spiritual publications serves our purpose of bringing moral guidance to those in need. Every year we hand-select a number of publications and books, which we believe offer the society a way to awaken their conscientiousness from the entrapments of materialism, and offer the readers guidance towards enlightenment. These books are freely distributed among spiritual centers, temples and whoever is interested across the entire state. This project, in which the ChenWu Foundation participates through the Buddhist Society, has received consistently positive feedback regarding the meaningfulness and high moral impact.
