1.Overview of the Institute
- This institute calls for an international movement for the reform of “human quality” based on Intrinsic Human Values, and serves as the foundation for building such a movement.
- It is a place for research through free dialogue and active discussion, welcoming the participation of people from all fields and backgrounds who share the same aspirations.
2.Philosophy of the Institute
- To fundamentally address the world’s challenges—such as war, discrimination, environmental destruction, and the misuse of technology—the Institute advocates for decisions and actions grounded in Intrinsic Human Values.
- We aspire to become a global center for research and communication, dedicated to promoting the international movement for the reform of human quality.
- Through dialogue rooted in these intrinsic values, we seek to build a spirit of mutual understanding, trust, cooperation, and sharing, ultimately working toward the realization of a peaceful world where people are truly connected with one another.
3.Goals and Activities
- Research the thoughts and philosophies of past leaders and sages to establish a foundation of Intrinsic Human Values.
- Create a shared human narrative, expressing these values in a concrete and accessible form.
- Develop a Universal Text (Sacred Text) based on these values and narratives, to be used for education and enlightenment worldwide.
- Build the foundation for an international movement for the reform of human quality, and position it within global frameworks such as the United Nations.
- Propose the establishment of an International Research Institute (for example, in Bhutan or Japan), which will also serve as a center for the education and training of future national leaders and teachers around the world.
4.Founder’s Message: “Renaissance 2.0”
- At the root of the world’s problems lies the human mind. To resolve these issues, it is essential to improve the quality of humanity, especially among national leaders who guide societies.
- By learning from the classics left by our predecessors and from the teachings of great religious founders—and by reinforcing them with the latest scientific knowledge—we aim to establish a framework of universal values for all humankind.
- Alongside the ongoing information revolution, we call for a global movement of human quality reform that will bring about a profound transformation for humanity. This is the beginning of a new era we call the Second Renaissance (Renaissance 2.0).
- Unlike the revolutions of the past, this is a “bloodless transformation”, seeking to build a vision of “One World” united through shared values, dialogue, and human connection.
