The Baha’i Faith

The Baha’i Faith is a global religion based on the teachings of Baha’u’llah, the Manifestation of God for this day. The central teaching of the Baha’i Faith is the oneness of humanity: the principle that all people, regardless of race, religion, national origin, or any outward distinction form part of one human family and that every individual has a responsibility towards contributing to the material and spiritual progress of society. Baha’is believe that humanity is entering an age of maturity where the wars, oppressive social structures, and inequality of our childhood will be left behind and principles like the oneness of humanity, the equality of men and women, and universal education will govern the relationships between humanity’s diverse and differing parts. 

The programs offered at the Triangle Baha’i Institute are all inspired by the teachings of the Baha’i Faith and underlined by Baha’u’llah’s vision for the society we can create and the individual we can become. This vision is explicit throughout the programs of the institute. However, recognizing that every individual has a responsibility towards creating this new world, they are outward-looking and open to people of all backgrounds. Those serving as teachers and mentors at the institute hail from many unique religious, racial, and national backgrounds. You can learn more about the Baha’i Faith at bahai.org.
