Self-correction serves the community. A Confucian shrine enriches the lives of all in this village. Confucius believed that all have the capacity for goodness, and only study is needed to release their inherent moral and virtuous nature. Confucius did not consider himself a philosophical prophet, but instead a transmitter of ideas from history. Therefore, this shrine’s function is not to worship Confucius himself, but rever his teachings. In practicing those teachings, the shrine’s worshippers improve the lives of those around them by treating all as equals.

Inner and outer life are equal. A Confucian temple is a place of peace dedicated to the study of Confucius’ teachings. These encourage the cultivation of a social conscience so that all relations – social, political and cultural – are viewed through the same lens. In doing this, equal importance is applied to the inner and outer life of each person, and all gain an understanding that goodness comes from reconciling outer and inner concerns, state and family, and that no subject should be considered without those principles in mind.
