Dharmakirti International Peace and Progress Society - DIPPS - Bangladesh

The founder of our society most respectable world citizen, Prof. Dr. Dharmakirti Mahathera locally established this Non - profit organization.

Dr. Dharmakirti Mahathera locally established many social, religious and cultural developmental associations. The local people of our society are greatly benefited to this association. For long time his contribution is unique and unperalleled in our local area (Especially in Mirsarai and Sitakunda Upazilla). If he is still working with many others national and international organization and there

also he has contribution, but for long time he is thinking to establish an organization to extend his own work range Nationally and Internationally. So this society is the fruit of his dream. He had a plan to declare about this society in the year 2010, in his Mahathera Abhidha conferring ceremony, which was observed Nationally and Internationally. At that time if he could not declared but this society is working from that time. So it was established in a historical and memorial day the 21 January 2010. Dharmakirti International peace and progress society (abbreviation for DIPPS) begin to consist a DIPPS Central Trust Fund for future all developmental work, except special projects all of DIPPS money will fixed deposit in bank for trust fund. We don’t spend capital money of trust fund. we only use yearly interest of fixed deposit for social development work of DIPPS and its Co-organization. The first work of this society is to start Friday weekly monastic religious schools or Friday Dhamma schools for children. We already start it in Damdhama- Nababpur Dharmakirti Buddhist Monastery. When our fund will increase, gradually we will extend this program all the temples of Mirsarai and Sitakunda Upazilla. After that all the temples of Bangladesh. Because without ethical guidance or religious teachings we can’t build a good society as well as a good Nation. According to our founder’s observation, now there have not much financial poverty in the Buddhist community of Bangladesh, but in the field of Buddhist studies of youth there have much poverty. For a lack of moral religious knowledge now many Buddhist youth of Bangladesh are misguide and degenerate to the way of real life. So their families as well as the society are suffering a lot. We think that the Buddha’s teaching is the best way to escape to this situation. The second priority of our society (DIPPS) is to establish Dhamma Duta residential school and college for monks and novices. Because our founder think that except good and skillful religious teacher society cannot be good. Now days there have shortage skillful religious teachers or monks in Bangladesh. So DIPPS will whole heartedly try to fulfill this shortage. You will happy and glad to hear that by the graces of Triple Gems our founder already get a big land as a donation for this purpose. And building construction also going on at that place. We have a master plan, where we have need near about 250, 00000/- (Two core and fifty lac) approximately USD 320512$ to complete this construction work. within six months we already spent near about 300, 000/- (Thirty Lac). Now its foundation work is completed. Our well wishers from land and abroad are extend their generous helping hand. After complete this construction work we will start education courses on Tripitaka (Sutta, Binoyand Abhidhamma including Pali and English) to the grass label. This Dhammaduta School and college not only teach them canonical teachings (pariyatti Dhamma) but also emphasis to teach them the strong code of discipline, Sila and Samadhi (Patipatti Dhamma). After finishing their course they will go for preach the Dhamma for the good of many, for the happiness of many, as a Dhammaduta (The messenger of Dhamma). Dharmakirti International Peace and Progress Society (DIPPS) is a non-political, humanitarian social, religious, cultural, economical, educational, environmental and spiritual development association. It will work nationally and internationally for the development of human rights, peace and progress of the society. It will build a deep friendship with the world community and international organizations those have been working for long time to the development of humanity, world peace and prosperity. For ethical and inner development of the youths it will start monastic religious education and meditation program for children as well as for the monks and novices, and also help to the poor students for advance of their general education. This society will help to the poor, destitute, orphans, old persons and helpless people. It will help to the suffering people those who will be seriously effect by the natural destruction.
