What would it take to create a future where war, famine, prejudice, and greed are a thing of the past?

Gene Roddenberry’s words of wisdom challenge us to consider a humanist approach to life. If we could truly appreciate the humanity of every person, imagine how quickly we could move towards that future.

“Seeking the Way”
If you give up on a method just because your efforts don’t feel satisfying—or because you can’t clearly see or explain your progress—you might start hopping from one approach to another. Or worse, without even realizing it, you might end up pushing aside the noble spirit of seeking truth—something uniquely human.

If that happens, it’s not just turning your back on your own dignity—it’s really a kind of spiritual self-abandonment.
But someone who truly has conviction doesn’t look at life in such a shallow way. — Nakamura Tempu

Learn how to develop shinnen—real conviction—and unearth your innate power to succeed. Visit www.TempuYoga.com.

Bertrand Russell /
Born in 1872 in Wales and passing in 1970, Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, mathematician, and social critic. His works — A History of Western Philosophy, The Problems of Philosophy, and Why I Am Not a Christian — shaped modern thought.

"Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves." — William Hazlitt

Hazlitt reveals that external conflict often mirrors inner unrest. This quote affirms that hostility toward others stems from unresolved turmoil within. Peace begins with self-understanding. Until we reconcile our own wounds, we project them outward. Harmony is an inside job.

"Regarding Food"

Strictly speaking, it is rational to consume food that is, as much as possible, not far removed from its "natural state." Therefore, there is no need to deliberately subsist only on a meager diet, but the essential point is that you should make plant-based foods your focus, sticking to a moderate amount. — Nakamura Tempu

Visit http://www.TempuYoga.com and learn how to receive a free month of online classes in Tempu-style Japanese yoga, meditation, and philosophy.

About the Sennin Foundation Center

The Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts has been offering instruction in traditional Japanese arts under experienced, certified teachers since 1981. Established in California by H. E. Davey Sensei, it presents separate training in Japanese systems of yoga, healing arts, martial arts, and fine arts. Ongoing classes are available to people of all ages and levels of health, including classes for children ages five and up. Members of the Sennin Foundation Center have access to the rich traditions of Japan's cultural arts through practice in the group's classical dojo (literally, "training hall of the Way"). Much more than simply a school or studio, an authentic dojo is a gateway into the timeless realm of Asian art and personal development, allowing members of the Sennin Foundation Center to realize vibrant well-being and longevity. In fact, the word "Sennin" describes the ancient Japanese equivalent of a yogi. The Sennin were known for enlightenment, splendid health, and according to some ancient myths, their ability to attain immortality. This same emphasis on spiritual realization and wellness is stressed by the Sennin Foundation. Drop by our website: www.senninfoundation.com. Contact us at 510-526-7518 or hedavey@aol.com.
