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. Fortunately, there are some basic universal values on which the majority of the world’s people can agree. The disagreement arises on the optimal application and achieving the proper balance between these values. (from page 146 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)
Author’s Comment: Jambo strives to put the “universal ideals” (such as compassion, tolerance, respect for life, etc) into practice. Since the people and chapters of Jambo come from all over the world and all walks of life, we provide a living, learning platform where people can share and care. Particularly leaders of the various chapters are encouraged to create unity amidst diversity in the hopes of building a more sustainable society.
