The Founding Philosophy of JTS

If we can build a successful model in the poorest and most desperate environment in the world, even though it may be very small and may take decades to complete, it will someday become a universal model that can be successful anywhere in the world so that it will spread to all parts of the world. Jungto (Pure Land), a world without suffering and a world we all want, will not come by itself, and cannot be made possible by the efforts of one or two people. It will gradually become a reality only when a vast number of people join forces and work together. We wish that the seed we have planted will grow into a big tree that will provide shade to a countless number of people.

A person who h as a dream is h appy. When dreamers come together, they are h appier. A life pursuing such dream together is the h appiest.

These are the basic rights of every human being regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, or religion. However, there are too many people who suffer because their basic human rights are not guaranteed. Amidst this human tragedy, JTS hopes to make a better world by helping those in need and giving them a light of hope.
