At International Japan CIESF Leaders Academy, we highly value the interconnected Buddhist principles of self-benefit (自利 - Jiri) and other-benefit (利他 - Rita). We understand that these are not separate paths, but two wheels of a single vehicle, and each is essential for cultivating rich humanity. Self-benefit refers to the continuous development of one's own character, skills, and knowledge, which is embodied by our promotion of proactive learning at our school. Other-benefit is about our altruistic attitudes and actions that contribute to the well-being of others and the world, and this is reflected in collaborative learning at our school.
