In building the Bodhi Center, Texas Buddhist Association (TBA) hopes to provide a place where the ideals of Buddhism can be practice in everyday life. The Center hopes to achieve the following goals:

1. Cultivate talents who both understand the ideals of Buddhism and practice them in real life
   
2. Create a place to educate the next generation both spiritually and physically and to facilitate cultural exchange and understanding
3. Create a place to benefit the general public through philanthropy, volunteering, and community work
4. Create a Buddhism based community where everyone benefits from each other’s mutual support in practicing Buddhism
