Rinri has simple three pillars;

 

• Cheerfulness

• Love and harmony

• Working with joy

​

All these three will be unified to being open-minded. We practice small good habits to put those characters into ourselves every day.

Thousands of business executives have verified the concept of Rinri, originally meaning ethics, morals, or philosophy in Japanese but NOT a religion, theory, nor simple tradition. Rinri is a proven principle to achieve a happy life and long-lastingly growing business.

Practice is everything

RINRI is unlike the laws made by People. As the material world is governed by the laws of physics and the physical body by the laws of physiology, so is daily human life governed by the natural laws of Rinri. These natural laws were first discovered by having an open mind towards everything that concerned human life and relying on intuition to deal with the situation at hand, and then testing the results of the action and attitude as in an experiment to the situation. The results were then compared to teachings found in similar historical and moral laws as well as in the words and deeds of our predecessors.   To achieve RINRI, it is critical that it be practiced rather than rationalized. .... It is simply the heartfelt "refinement" of ourselves.
