Social welfare production is fundamentally different from social welfare system. It is essential for promoting civilization and collective well-being. This model relies on the collective efforts of society, generating sustainable benefits for all.

The Origin of Our Public Welfare Projects:

Why has Yicheng Commonweal chosen to promote the cause of “social welfare production” in the advancement of civilization?

We deeply love this land and the people here. We consider this place our hometown and strive to recreate it as a paradise. We have established sections dedicated to civilization, public welfare, and faith. With our full attention, we ponder how to attain collective well-being and steer clear of disasters and suffering.

Through continuous reflection and writing, we have realized that the core of advancing human civilization lies in the concept and practice of “social welfare production”. Thus, we have introduced this idea of “social welfare production” to illuminate the path to future happiness for everyone. By doing so, we want to point out the direction for future well-being and pave the way for public welfare projects.

Social welfare production is the only path to continually advancing human civilization

As a social practice centered on creativity, social welfare production is not only the foundation for promoting human civilization but also the true source of human well-being. Unlike individual pursuits and the accumulation of personal profit, social welfare production emphasizes the collective effort of society as a whole. Through various innovative welfare production models, it enables all members to benefit from shared resources, thereby achieving collective happiness and social progress. This article will delve into the value and significance of social welfare production, revealing why it is the sole pathway to advancing civilization and enhancing human well-being.

  1. Social Welfare Production as an Innovative Gathering of Social Forces

The key to social welfare production lies in creatively bringing together social forces. In contrast to the “distribution” model of traditional welfare systems, social welfare production transforms welfare resources into a driving force for innovation. It encourages collaboration among businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities to jointly build a welfare production network.

This networked approach enhances the value of welfare resources, allowing different social groups to attain value from their contributions. Not only does this method generate more social welfare, but it also strengthens the sense of participation and responsibility among members of society toward civilization.

  1. Social Welfare Production Promotes Sustainable Development of Well-being

Traditional welfare systems often rely on government funding and taxpayer support, whereas social welfare production harnesses the collaborative efforts of various sectors to create a sustainable source of benefits.

For example, education and skill enhancement programs driven by collaboration among government, businesses, and communities allow the results of social welfare production to be continuously updated and reused.

This model avoids the pitfalls of depleting singular resources, making welfare a collective achievement created and enjoyed by the entire society, thereby establishing a lasting foundation for social benefits. Social welfare production shifts the reliance on external support, fostering a sustainable welfare system propelled by the collective efforts of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production as a Social Mechanism for the Common Good

Social welfare production emphasizes a social mechanism aimed at achieving the common good through collective action and network cooperation.

Each social welfare production project results from collaborative efforts rather than being the unilateral contribution of an individual or a specific group.

For instance, in the realms of public health care and community services, the government collaborates with businesses and community organizations to build a broader and more efficient social welfare system through resource sharing and division of labor. This social initiative not only enhances service efficiency but also allows various social groups to share in the collective benefits and sense of security gained through collaboration.

  1. Social Welfare Production Drives Society Toward a Higher Level of Well-being

Happiness is not merely an enhancement of individual feelings, but represents the achievement of shared goals across society. Social welfare production, through collaboration and innovation, guides all levels of society toward higher objectives of well-being.

For example, initiatives promoting environmental sustainability, cultural development, and improvements in community life involve the collective participation of various social sectors, allowing all members to enjoy happiness in a better environment and a richer cultural context.

Through social welfare production, happiness transcends individual pursuits and becomes a reflection of the overall happiness and civilization of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production is Capable of Advancing Human Civilization sustainably

The overall progress of society stems from the collective efforts of all its members, and social welfare production is the most essential manifestation of that driving force.

Through creation, sharing, and shared responsibility, social welfare production enhances human civilization through continuous innovation, benefiting all members of society. This model not only provides material security but also fosters the elevation of cultural values.

Social welfare production is not reliant on individual efforts. Instead, it is the creative endeavor of the entire society, aiming to benefit humanity. It elevates civilization to new heights.

For this reason, social welfare production is the only pathway to the ongoing advancement of human civilization.

Conclusion

Social welfare production is also the fundamental source of human happiness.

By harnessing the collective power of cooperation and creativity, it transforms social resources into welfare, driving society to create value for every individual and all.

Only through socially driven welfare production can happiness be widely shared throughout society, leading human civilization toward a more harmonious and inclusive future.

神の教えを生きる:魂の満ち足りる道を探して

Yicheng · Nov 11, 2024

以下は、ボランティアとの対話から抜粋し、一部編集を加えたものです。語り手は道何(Daohe)です。 本日は「魂の満ち足りる道を探して」というテーマでお話をさせていただきます。皆さんのご参加と傍聴に感謝します。神の祝福が常に私たちと共にありますように。 『マタイの福音書』には、イエスが荒野で40日間を過ごされた際、悪魔が石をパンに変えようと誘惑したと記されています。その時イエスはこう答えられました。「人はパンだけで生きるのではなく、神の口から出る一つ一つの言葉による」(マタイ4:4)。この言葉は、私たちが本当に支えられる力とは何かを考えさせ、物質的な欲求を超えて精神的な豊かさを追求するよう導いてくれます。 現代社会では、物質的な欲求が容易に満たされる一方で、人々はますます精神的な世界から切り離されているように見えます。多くの人がより多くのお金、高級車、大きな家、高得点、昇進を追い求めています。もちろん、これらの追求は正当なものであり、より幸せな生活や社会の進歩を目指すものです。しかし、本当に人生の方向性を示し、人類社会を支えるのは、目に見えない精神的な力なのです。 人間の行動は、内なる動機によって駆動されます。この動機が自己中心的な欲望に基づくものであるならば、他者の利益よりも自分の利益を優先する社会が生まれるでしょう。一方で、この動機が神の知恵に基づくものであれば、私たちは地上に天国、すなわち神の国を築く可能性が高まります。 神の教えを生きるとは、自分の行動や選択を常に反省することを意味します。反省を通じて誤りを修正し、人生の方向を再び見つけることができます。たとえ困難や不公平に直面しても、正しい道を選び流されることなく進むのです。これにより、人間の弱さや魂の成長の必要性に気付くことができます。 神の教えを生きることは、外部の環境や文化の影響を受けるだけではなく、道徳的で正しい価値観に基づいて行動し、外部の環境を積極的に変えていくことです。神の意志とは、人間世界をより良い場所に変え、より美しい未来を創造することです。 また、神の教えを生きることは、まず自分自身を愛し、その愛を他者や世界に広げることを意味します。この純粋な愛を通じて、私たちは内なる力を最大限に引き出し、他者や社会のために役立つ行動を起こすことができます。このような行動は、自分自身の中に真の愛を発見し、魂の奥深くにある無限の力を見出すことにつながります。このような生き方をすることで、単に「生きる」だけではなく、人生の意義と価値を生きることができるのです。 神の言葉に従うことで、私たちは内なる霊性の可能性を引き出し、より良い自分になり、世界に奉仕することができます。これこそが人生の最も貴重な体験です。 神の教えを生きることは、自分を犠牲にして他者を助けることだけを意味するのではありません。それは神の知恵を生活に反映させ、自分自身と他者の両方に利益をもたらすことです。これを実践するためには、次のようなステップから始めることができます: 私たちはしばしば物質で心の空虚を埋めようとします。しかし、イエスが荒野で誘惑に直面したときに示されたもう一つの答えがあります。それは信仰に根ざし、神の教えを生きる人生です。神の教えが私たちを導くことで、私たちは内なる養いを得て、真の満足と幸福へと向かうことができるのです。

活出上帝的教义:寻找灵魂的富足

Yicheng · Nov 11, 2024

本文节选于一次志愿者谈话,做了一定的修改。讲述者是道何。 今天我们对“寻找灵魂的富足”做一探讨。 感谢大家的参与和旁听。 上帝永远祝福于我们,愿我们与上帝同在。 在《马太福音》中,耶稣在旷野中度过四十天时,魔鬼试图引诱祂将石头变成食物,耶稣却说了这样的话:“人活着,不是单靠食物,乃是靠上帝口里所出的每一句话。”(马太福音4:4)。这句话启发我们去探索真正支撑我们的力量,并指引我们超越物质需求,探索精神上的富足。 在现代社会中,物质欲望越来越容易满足,人们却越来越与精神世界脱节。我们所有人都在追逐更有钱、更豪华的车、更大的房子、更高的分数、升职等等。当然,这些追求都是正当的,是为了更幸福的生活和社会进步,但真正指引人生方向、维系人类社会的,实际上是无形的精神力量。 人类的行为总是由潜在的动机所驱动,而这些动机往往源于我们的价值观。如果这些动机主要出于自私的欲望,那么我们就会创造一个每个人只关心自身利益的世界。而如果这些动机源自上帝的智慧,我们则更有可能在地球上建立一个天堂,或者说上帝的国度。 真正活出上帝的教义,我们就会发现时刻反思自己的行为和选择。通过反思,我们能够修正错误,重新指引人生的方向。即使面对生活中的挑战和不公,我们也会选择走正道,而不是随波逐流。由此我们能够认识到人性的弱点,以及灵魂成长的必要性。 活出上帝的教义意味着不再只是被动接受外来环境与文化的影响,而是以道德与正确的价值观引导自己,积极行动起来去改变外在的环境,这才符合上帝的意志。上帝的意志就是让人间变成一个更好的地方,让社会有一个更加美好的未来。 活出上帝的教义意味着爱自己,还要把你的爱扩及他人与世界。由这份真挚的爱,我们的能力会得到充分的释放,做各种各样能够利益他人与社会的事情。这些行动让你发现自己内在的真爱,发现灵魂深处无尽的力量。如此生活,我们不止是在活着,而是活出了生命的意义和价值。 遵循上帝的话语,我们能够激发内在的灵性潜能,成为更好的自己,服务世界,而这正是人生最可贵的一部分。 活出上帝的教义并不意味着牺牲自己成就别人,而是以上帝的智慧引导我们的生活,激励我们去创造更多利益和财富,这些反过来也将惠及我们自身。我们可以从以下几点开始: 我们常常用物质去填补内心的空虚,但耶稣在旷野中面对诱惑时给了我们另一种答案:一种扎根于信仰、活出教义的生活。让祂的教义指引我们走上正道,我们才能获得内心的滋养,走向真正的满足与幸福。
