The Universal Principle
Topic: Virtue, Morality, & Ethics
“What is the path for us to live a true life? As we go on the path, the main thing we should keep in mind is to live for the sake of others. Confucius, Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha all affirm this truth. Living for the sake of others is the universal principle that defines the way we should live our lives – the one law of the true way of life.“

Living for the Sake of Others
This ethic of living for the sake of others calls us to continual acts of service and sacrifice. It requires a selfless orientation of character, which ultimately stems from our vertical connection to God and His endless love.
–World Scripture II [Universal Peace Federation (2011)] p. 67.
