Due to insurmountable resource issues, we sadly decided to end our operations. There is deep gratitude for everyone who supported and participated in our programs for nearly 15 years.
Warmly,
Barry Kerzin
Chairman of the Board
Human Values Institute
The Human Value Research Institute, a General Incorporated Association, will cease operations as of March 31, 2026, due to various circumstances.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all of our members, program participants, clients, volunteer members, and everyone else who has supported our work over the past fifteen years.
Although it is difficult to say goodbye, we feel profound gratitude for having been able to share with all of you a place for learning and practice since a time when meditation and compassion were not yet as widely known as they are today. If our efforts have contributed, even in a small way, to the understanding and spread of meditation and compassion in Japan, we could ask for no greater joy.
It is our hope that this turning point may lead to new steps in learning and practice. We sincerely wish that mindfulness and compassion will continue to be quietly nurtured and cultivated in each person’s own life and community.
We pray that the days ahead for each of you may be filled with peace and happiness.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
With deepest gratitude,
HumanValuesInstitute
