Values offer protection, and one who experiences this is able to share this protection with others. Values bring empowerment, and it becomes possible to remove weaknesses and defects. As the innate goodness of the individual is concentrated on values, the link with God becomes strong and clear. Service is then rendered to others through thoughts, words, and actions. A soul with values is not trapped by any limited desires or attractions, but remains stable in the unlimited.
Values open the heart and transform human nature so that life is filled with compassion ad humility.
As we develop values within the self, we share the fragrance of those values with the world around us, and in this way move forward to a better world. Copyright 2001 American Center for Chinese Studies, All Rights Reserved.
