A child asked the Master “What is the purpose of our life?” He smiled lovingly and replied “To acquire Virtues”.
All religions teach us to be people with good character. The Virtues Project strategies are one powerful way to awaken, nurture and grow these qualities that make us human.
This work offers an approach to the virtues: the qualities of character and the simple elements of spirituality honored by all cultures and sacred traditions. However, it does not promote the practices or the beliefs of any particular religion. It’s grounded in the simple wisdom of many world religions, all of which describe the human virtues as the highest aspiration for humanity.
