The Triple Universal Ethics provides a strong spiritual and ethical base with which to actualize the Charter of the United Nations. We the People of the United Nations have a Common Principle and Common Purpose as One Family to live well individually and to create a better world collectively.
Although opinions and methods may differ, there is agreement with respect to awakening the world and making it more peaceful and just. Although we come from different walks of life, we all have a common task: to build the House of Truth and to make a home for love and justice. If all social, political and religious enterprises apply their vast and unique resources, the development of a peaceful world could be achieved.
