Brahmavihara is a non-profit organization (NGO) registered under Section 16(4) of the Companies Act 1965 of Malaysia. As an entity regulated by relevant laws and regulations, Brahmavihara operates with openness and transparency, and its financial statements are required to undergo annual audits.
According to Malaysian law and the provisions of its Articles of Company, the objectives of Brahmavihara are:
(i) Supporting the Saṅgha community;
(ii) Promoting the teachings of the Buddha;
(iii) Conducting charitable activities.
Established in 2015, Brahmavihara is responsible for developing, managing, and operating the Brahmavihara Monastery & Retreat Centre.
The decision-making bodies within Brahmavihara are the Saṅgha Council and the Board of Directors. The Saṅgha Council serves as the highest authority, and it appoints all members of the Board of Directors.
In compliance with Malaysian corporate legal requirements, Brahmavihara engages a team of professionals—including an accountant, a company secretary, and a legal advisor—to manage the organization’s administrative affairs. This allows the Saṅgha to focus on spiritual practice, teaching, and serving the community.
