The Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom (FDCW) was established in 2005 to help create a more peaceful, compassionate, and sustainable world. We support people in developing their compassion and wisdom for a happier life through understanding the mind more deeply, examining emotions, and appreciating the interconnection of all life.<\/p>\n
Our mission is to spread compassion and wisdom around the world by offering a wide range of training, courses, and resources that support individuals on their journey toward a happier life. At the heart of our work lies the 16 Guidelines for Life, providing a robust framework for ethical living that informs and enriches all our activities.<\/p>\n
FDCW is an FPMT International Education Project that provides educational programs based on Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom (UECW).
