In today’s world, whole industries exist to police dishonesty and conflict: auditors to check accounts, police to enforce laws, prisons to contain offenders, investigators to uncover lies, and lawyers to argue disputes. These structures are expensive, heavy, and sustained by the assumption that human beings cannot be trusted.
But what if education could change that?
At Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU), the goal is not only to teach knowledge, but to inculcate superior human qualities: honesty, self-discipline, compassion, and wisdom. In this way, graduates are not simply skilled workers — they are trustworthy human beings who can be relied upon to act ethically, even when no one is watching.
In such an environment:
Auditors are unnecessary, because accounts are kept true at every step.
Police and prisons are unnecessary, because no one wishes to harm or exploit others.
Investigators are unnecessary, because truth is spoken openly.
Lawyers and litigation are unnecessary, because disputes are resolved through fairness and compassion.
What replaces these systems is not chaos, but a higher order — the order of honesty and virtue.
This is the culture DRBU seeks to nurture.
Within the campus, students live without policing, guided by conscience rather than force.
In their future workplaces, they bring this trust-based ethic into companies, institutions, and communities.
Over time, a society shaped by DRBU graduates becomes one where controls and enforcement are no longer the foundation — trust and virtue are.
This is nothing less than the beginning of a Pure Land on Earth: a world where integrity makes external policing redundant, and where human beings can live together in peace, dignity, and truth.
DRBU is the seed. The better world is the harvest.
