Namu Amida Butsu *The New York Buddhist Church Team : Gary Jaskula, Isabelle Bernard, Linda Engstrom, Matthew Wise The mission of Buddhist Global Relief (BGR) is to provide relief to the poor and needy throughout the world regardless of nationality, ethnicity, gender, or religion. Bearing in mind the Buddhas statements that hunger is the worst kind of illness and the gift of food is the gift of life, BGR especially focuses on providing food aid to those afflicted by hunger and lack of food security. Its long-range goal, however, is to combat all the manifestations of poverty that detract from the inherent dignity of human life.
