Universal Love and Brotherhood Association

FOUNDING PLEDGE

_____This association pledges to devote its best efforts to further the cause of universal brotherhood, to bring about friendship and union among men, and to bring forth a world of light filled with bliss and joy for all eternity.
_____First of all, men are by nature brethren, and of one flesh. From the depth of the souls of all men comes a desire to return to this basic principle, the highest ideal of humankind. However, in recent years, social conditions have taken a sudden turn for the worse, public morals have become ever more corrupt, and the hearts of men have grown hard - a truly grievous trend. If the world goes on in this way, the future will be certain to teach us a very hard lesson.
_____Therefore, in order to escape from this calamity, we must move forward to transcend all human barriers such as differences of race, nationality, and religion, and awaken to the noble cause of universal brotherhood. At the same time we must go on to build a world of everlasting understanding and enlightenment on this earth. For these reasons this association has been established.
June 9, 1925

ALL RELIGIONS SPRING FROM THE
SAME SOURCE. THE WORLD IS ONE


_____Master Onisaburo Deguchi taught us "all religions spring from one God, and are of a common origin", and advocated that it was the noble cause of humankind to realize the ideal of world peace by living in the joy doing God's work. The spirit of Jinrui Aizen, "Universal Love and Brotherhood", means to say, to eradicate social evils and their causes, such as human selfishness and the preying of the strong upon the weak.
_____Upholding the principles of "All Religions Spring From the Same Source", and "The World is One", the Jinrui Aizenkai is promoting the following activities: the interfaith movement, the World Federation movement, and the spread of an international common language through the Esperanto movement.
_____The world of love and brotherhood this association is aiming at implies not only a world without wars but also a world in which all living things exist together happily and harmoniously - including all groups and kinds of people, birds, animals, insects, fish, plants, and trees - by removing the fundamental hostilities between religions and races.
