The Twilight Club Today
Yasuhiko Genku Kimura
Executive Director
The Twilight Club is an invitation for an inspired
moral action and ethical practice in accord
with an eternal moral vision and universal ethical
principles on the basis of a rational and transrational
thinking-based global discourse and dialogue
on morality and ethics.
The Twilight Club is committed to the concepts
that:
The Commitment to universal truth is the hallmark
of morality, wherefore the act of assuming the
responsibility of thinking in pursuit of universal
truth is the foundation of moral virtue.
To develop wisdom that consists of the capacity
to sustain a dialogue with people who hold different
ethical or philosophical points of view is the
essential moral virtue without which no peace
or balance is possible in the world.
Morality is morality in action, and action is
daily action. Ethics is ethics in practice,
and practice is daily practice. Therefore, no
moral discourse is of any moral value if we
cannot transform it into moral action in our
daily lives; nor is an ethical discourse of
ethical value if we cannot transform it into
ethical practice in our daily lives.
Human beings are at their best not when they
are engaged in abstract reflection, or when
they are engaged in individual transformation
for its own sake, but when they are engaged
in action to transform the corners of the world
in which they live.
You are a singular kosmic destiny, the
fulfillment of which is the difference you make
in the world—and in the universe. You
make a difference. Your life makes a difference.
Because of you, and because of the difference
you make, a corner of the world will be lit
more radiantly than ever before. That light,
that radiance, is the substance of the universe
that unfolds in the blossoming of your soul.
