Jin-ai University

[EduCativ]

The Jin-ai Education Academy was founded in 1898. The Jin-ai Education Academy is comprised of a kindergarten, a girly girl's high school, women's junior college, and the university, which is co-ed.
In its original Japanese,(Jin-ai Kaikyouen) means Jin-ai Association of Teaching Gardens. The central tenet is that students, much like flowers in a garden, need attention, care, and the proper environment to flourish. Jin-ai's educational philosophy stems from Buddhist teachings and ideology.
This philosophy's overall essence is best represented in the statue symbolizing (Shaka) or Buddha's birth. The right hand is raised toward the infinite universe. This signifies that all life around us is limitless, interconnected, and of the same energy or life force. The left hand pointing to the ground signifies our connection to the reality of the world around us. From the realization that we are all connected, the courage to make onesies like a light shine bright for all humanity's benefit.
Inscribed on the university's main gate is Harmony Is The Light Of A Vibrant World. This message and the educational philosophy at Jin-ai leads one to question – "What does it mean to live?" This question and the pursuit for the answer are central to all research, education, and extracurricular endeavors undertaken at Jin-ai University.
The library is a state-of-the-art facility. Its collection is ever-increasing, with a capacity to house upwards of 15 million books. There are numerous decks for private study.
