(From page 146 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”) The majority will claim that spiritual precepts are beautiful although they cannot practically be lived out in our dog-eat-dog world. On the contrary, the most fallacious “fantasy” is that we can continue to live on a relatively benevolent planet without their full implementation. ...…… Author’s Comment: It is only in having more and more people attempting to live out generally accepted universal ideals (compassion, fairness, tolerance, respect for life…) that we can effectively move towards a society where increasing numbers of humans and other beings of nature can flourish. Perhaps we cannot achieve heaven on earth, but we can surely move in that direction.

What Jambo Members Are SayingDavid Howenstein founded Jambo Japan in 1996. A man with many ideas on bettering the natural/human environment but also unsure how to implement them in a way to make a sustainable organization, he tried various courses of action throughout the years. Like many of you, he encountered frequent frustrations finding that the vast majority of his efforts ended in failure. However, through trial and error, he came upon a recipe for success in his adopted home. |
