Mission
The Muhammad Subuh Foundation (MSF), named in honor of the founder of Subud, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo, serves to build a lasting financial capacity for the Subud community with dedication to the worldwide growth and long-term development of Subud.
Purpose
MSF focuses on supporting Subud groups around the world to own and improve premises. In addition, MSF supports the archival preservation of YM Bapak’s and Ibu Siti Rahayu’s legacy. It further supports international helpers’ travel to groups to assist members in their practice of the latihan kedjiwaan (the spiritual practice of Subud). The Foundation may also provide financial assistance to Susila Dharma International Association and Subud International Cultural Association.
MSF is a vehicle for holding and maintaining Subud assets and for receiving donations and bequests from members and enterprises for Subud’s long-term stability and security. MSF focuses on supporting Subud groups round the world to own latihan premises, so that members can worship God freely. In addition, MSF supports international helpers’ travel to groups, to ensure that groups follow the latihan in the right way. And, if it has the means, it supports the Wings.
