ボランティア活かつ動どうは人にん間げんだけが持もちうる楽たのしい特権とっけんである。お互たがいに弱よわさを持もつ人にん間げんが身みを寄よせながら助たすけ合あう。他た者しゃのニーズを受うけて立たち上あがるエネルギーを、人にん間げんはみな持もっている。自じ分ぶん以い外がいのことに自じ分ぶんの能のう力りょくを使つかう。

特権とっけんを発揮はっきすることは、人にん間げんの証あかしである。人にん間げんには二ふたつの寿じゅ命みょうがあり、一ひとつは、自じ分ぶんのためだけの、生せい物ぶつのいのちとしての寿じゅ命みょう、もう一ひとつは、人にん間げんでなければできないことに使つかわれる寿じゅ命みょうなのである。
