SGM members also believe that education is a lifelong pursuit of self-awareness and development of both wisdom and character. Education nurtures our ability to think critically, helps us make informed choices but most importantly, it enhances our appreciation of life in all its diversity.

Through a wide range of educational activities, SGM seeks to foster awareness of the social and environmental responsibilities we all share for the future of our country, and by extension, our precious planet Earth.

This is education in the broadest sense of the word, and it is not limited to the classroom or to any particular age group. Following the establishment of Wisma Kebudayaan SGM, SGM has organised a series of public lectures, conferences and discussion forums covering subjects such as Dialogue Among Civilisations, Muslim-Buddhist Dialogue and global ethics. Film shows on the world's major religions have also been screened, and more than 2000 people from different religious persuasions attended.

Based on the Buddhist concept of the unity of life and its environment, SGM has also organised and sponsored campaigns to educate people about the need to preserve, and sensibly co-exist with the Earth's biosphere.
