MISSION STATEMENT 

The Ratna Foundation is dedicated to cultivating the fundamental sanity and dignity in individuals and therefore in society at large.  It looks for ways to heal, strengthen, and empower individuals so that they can benefit themselves and others.  Through generosity, we can foster environments that encourage humanity, dignity, compassion, and wisdom. 

THE RATNA PRINCIPLE 

“Ratna”(pronounced raht-nah) is Sanskrit for “jewel.”  It connotes the idea of a “wish-fulfilling gem” of wholesome, sane awareness able to provide unceasingly for the many needs of others.  There is inherent, boundless wealth, both in ourselves and in the world, that can be tapped for the common betterment.  Ratna manifests as an appreciation of the richness of every situation, even those that seem confused or lacking, always seeing the potential for creativity and dignity. 

THE TREASURE VASE 

Our logo, the treasure vase, symbolizes an endless rain of good health and prosperity, bringing the benefits of this world and spiritual liberation.  It can harmonize and rejuvenate environmental energy, pacifying internal and external conflict, while increasing qualities of kindness and wisdom.  However much is removed from it, the treasure vase remains perpetually full, an inexhaustible source of material and spiritual abundance.
