SEPTEMBER - Nature & Spirit

9/1/2021

Illustration by Miki Howenstein

What is this mystery called life? Most often, it is defined as all things having the spirit of breath and carrying out continuous processes whereby they relate to the outside world through giving and taking therefrom—in other words, all animals (humans included) and plants that constitute nature. In this sense, spirit and nature are one and the same..,…. (From page 284 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)

Author’s Comment: How fortunate we are to be granted this mysterious treasure called life! And how unfortunate that many of our fellow creatures (human and other) endure such deep suffering that they are unable to appreciate this incredible miracle. There is no greater gift you can give than to create conditions which reduce suffering while increasing the joy of being alive. And this is one of the missions of JAMBO.

What Jambo Members Are Saying

David 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.

The beauty of Jambo is that it doesn’t preach that there is only one right way. The right formula varies according to each person’s talents, community, and surrounding environment. And each and every person has potential of some kind. Try to put your good ideas into action. Without trying them out, you’ll never know if they will work or not. JAMBO is here to help and provide a forum for sharing."
