Change and development, form the very core of the
living process. Those who make the effort to guide
this change in a positive direction and try to develop
and improve, find they have enriched and fulfilled
lives. They have transcended mere existence, by giving
their lives meaning. Humans are born with special traits and
a raw potential that distinguishes them from other
animals. The Reiyukai believes that this potential
should be developed and refined to its highest possible
level. The ability to think creatively and to imagine
concepts and worlds beyond what one feels with one’s
senses is a uniquely human trait. The Reiyukai believes
that not using this ability is a waste of individual
human potential, and urges each human being to infuse
his routine of sleeping, eating, working and playing
with an energy and awareness that takes advantage of his
potential by developing his capabilities. Through this
kind of action and awareness, we will begin to embody
the essence of what it means to be human beings. By
developing our creativity, compassion and intelligence,
we will create a more humanistic world. |
