Buddhism regarding"suffering" for loka dharma world with the fundamental law, follow the path and cultivating the truth to out of this endless sea of samsara. Therefore, to change the sufferings to be happiness with the spirit of compassion, to extincting Dukkha is the most fundamental thinks. The Buddhist spirit of compassion in Mahayana Buddhism has been the most adequate to carry forward, and even be regarded as the most fundamental spirit of Buddhism. If the "Buddhist view of life immeasurable," said that: "Buddha’s heart is The greatest compassion" " Maha Prajna Paramita Sastra " is even more explicit: "Compassion is the root of Buddha Path."

Maitri the cultivation and practice is also necessary for the Budhisattva to cultivate Paramita. It is in this way of thinking, there is a natural under the guidance of the Buddhist charity, and endless public good. Altruism in the heart of Northern Buddhism, in particular, to be heard, and given the lofty status. To achieves Buddhahood as the final goal in Mahayana Buddhism, Bodhisattva's six Paramita, four absorbs (cattari sagraha-vastАni) is the most important step for the Bodhisattva to the ultimate goal of Mahayana Buddhism. Donation is one of the first parami. In the Jataka stories there are many record of The Bodhisattva pratice from the first paramita.

Regarding these hygienic medical services through thousand relatives in the quite backward area, the fear of Indonesian Buddhism is not far away, but the person still go in to carry on giving free medical treatment for the victims. At the same time, it has the victims difficulty with the life without the safeguard, the Indonesian Buddhism also organizes the indefinite tense which provides daily necessity。

Although Buddhism has the glorious and bright history in Indonesia, but as a result of the historical development and the evolution, Buddhism's strength already becomes quite weak, even if is under the such stern environment, the great compassion heart still urged and is inspired each bodhisattva with our own strength, the Buddhism enterprise as well as the Buddha’s compassion heart will popularize to be society each misery quoin. Based on various aspects endeavors, Buddhism had the new appearance and the new vitality in Indonesia, they organizes for a social association, Buddhism participates in playing the suitable frontage positive impetus role, such as in welfare peaceful old, the health as well as the ancestor education aspect, Buddhism all is the indispensable strong character.

Maha Maitri is the cause of Happiness to all beings. Maha Karuna is gives hope to leave unsatisfactoriness from all the Beings.

promoted also unusually slow, the enterprise scale and the pattern lacks the standardization, the scientific style, not only this launches to enterprise itself brings the disadvantage factor, simultaneously does to own Buddhism for charity's management also has the noticeable adverse effect. Therefore it makes the public welfare philanthropy the colleague, was sure to remember could not forget to lose the lord Buddha this badly, therefore Buddhism helped the distressed and the responsibility might say that was shoulder heavy responsibilities a quarter and also not to have to relax
