Establishment Purpose
Humankind should enjoy true happiness based on world peace; the spiritual resources and boundless intelligence bestowed on human beings should contribute to peace and the welfare of humankind and our environment. Even if we take an optimistic view that humankind has progressed and prospered steadily by human wisdom and effort, we must recognize that along the way of history we humans have impaired our own dignity, going astray from our ideals and obligations and wandering in the bewilderment caused by failing to fulfill our responsibilities.
When we look at the reality today, our intelligence and conscience are facing serious challenges. Human talents, resources, and cultural heritage, which should be utilized for common human welfare, have been abused as instruments of fear and suppression in many corners of the earth. Disregarding the general well-being and harmony, and pursuing individual self-interests and partial development, has been accompanied by unexpected pollution and other forms of degradation. Eventually, we are facing the destruction of our earth and ecosystem.
In our times, human society has fallen into severe contradiction and irrationality. Egoism and altruism, individual and the whole, race and humankind, and the state and world are conceived as opposing interests without harmony. Today, whether in the East or West, human beings could not harmonize various contradictions such as body and soul, spirit and material, and ideal and reality, in a state of spiritual confliction and the confusion of values.
