Beliefs
The Turas faith promotes peace and helping the 'homeless and needy'. The basic tenets of their faith are best described in this quote:

"Disciples of the Turas faith are messengers of peace and do not wish any harm upon anyone. We strive together for world peace and the coming together of nations through the power of our minds and collective consciousness. We also strive for inner peace through deep meditation. We also strive to be truthful, sincere and genuine in all that we do. Most of all, every person on this earth is equal and should be treated as such". - Ven. Turas

They also many follow a mystic and esoteric path, evidenced by such as the belief in a collective consciousness and aphorisms used as tools in meditation.

"All that we see can and should be used as a tool in our development, and as a vehicle to our ultimate connection to the collective consciousness and single-mindedness.
This, in it's innate beauty, is both knowing our separate selves and the ultimate oneness. This is also the deepest communication with oneself, which facilitates the inner knowing of our true selves. This is the immediate guidance to that which is neither known nor perceived, but at the same time is the ultimate knowledge and perception, due to seeing through a new lens." - Ven. Turas
