The Five Intentions (Our Values)
Improvement
•
We all want to be treated with respect, so we will always treat others with respect.
Minded
•
We will actively consider opinions different from our own that we may have the opportunity to learn new truths from them.
•
Don’t believe anything with 100% certainty. To do so closes your mind to new truths.
•
Be true to yourself, and be willing to share your authentic self with others.
•
Seek truth about objective reality learnable through experimentation and the senses.
While Minimizing Harm
•
Determine a balance between maximizing freedom, minimizing harm/suffering, and maximizing happiness for oneself and others
Receive Love
A Summary
Our conviction lies in the notion of self-improvement, which can be achieved by utilizing reason, truth, and love. The employment of reason with an open mind allows us to gain knowledge about the world around us and wisdom to make better decisions, thereby maximizing happiness and minimizing harm for those we can influence.
Embracing truth enables us to live in accordance with our values and intentions, while loving ourselves and others can contribute to the creation of a more compassionate and fair society.
