Three Essential Values

At the Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park, while acknowledging that differences exist, we believe that the commonalities in our religious beliefs, spirituality, race, ethnicity, culture and nationality ultimately unite us. As a Canadian organization, while celebrating diversity, we strive to advance the awareness that we are not fundamentally different from one another. While we fully respect everyone’s right to freedom of conscience and religion, and are providing an opportunity for all major religions in the world to show their commitment to these essential values we all share, we urge everyone to be open minded and, in a mutually respectful and compassionate way, to try and understand, appreciate and learn from one another, and help us in promoting the principles of non-violence, justice and peace.

The following words of the Message sent by Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada on the opening to the Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park on the 2nd of July 2017, truly capture what inspired us to develop and open the Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park. “I believe Canada’s prosperity and strength is a direct result of our diversity. We are a nation that has steadily grown over the past 150 years, each new Canadian adding a unique set of beliefs and experiences that, in its sum, has resulted in an open and welcoming society. Our Values, rooted firmly in our multicultural identity, are exactly what the Humanics Institute aims to promote. Through their inclusive nature, this organization has brought together a wide range of Canadians united by a common dedication to peace and a shared commitment to celebrate our diversity. It is in this spirit that we open this new sanctuary and park, which promises to be a peaceful place of reflection and meditation.”

If we are to achieve our vision we need the involvement and support of all Canadians. Sometime soon we hope to have a Sanctuary Building, which will be a peaceful place of reflection and meditation for everyone, irrespective of a person’s cultural, racial, national or religious affiliations. Once we have such a facility we will be open all year round. Acharya Ranjit Perera President of the Humanics Institute
