Values

At the Hiram and Solomon Grand Lodge of Lebanon, we are guided by values that reflect the eternal light of Freemasonry and the noble heritage of our land:

🔹 Wisdom of the Ancients
We draw inspiration from the enduring genius of our Phoenician forefathers—builders, navigators, and seekers of knowledge. Like them, we chart our course with courage and clarity, dedicated to lifelong learning, the pursuit of truth, and the mastery of the self.

🔹 Integrity of the Builder
As Hiram of Tyre shaped stone with steady hands, so we shape our character with honesty, honor, and fidelity. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest moral standards, striving always to build lives and communities of enduring strength and beauty.

🔹 Brotherhood of Humanity Temple
From the cedar forests of Lebanon to all over the world, we honor the bonds of brotherhood that unite all men as equals. We cherish unity in diversity, and foster fraternity that transcends creed, origin, and status.

🔹 Charity Rooted in Compassion
Following the example of generations who offered shelter, aid, and hope, we extend the hand of charity to all in need. Our service reflects the spirit of the cedars—steadfast, generous, and nurturing.

🔹 Tolerance and Harmony
In a land that has been a meeting place of civilizations, we uphold the values of tolerance, respect, and dialogue. We believe that true strength is found in harmony, and that peace is built through understanding and mutual esteem.

🔹 Guardianship of Tradition and Light
As heirs to the ancient mysteries and custodians of the Craft, we are devoted to preserving the noble traditions of Freemasonry. We labor to transmit its light to future generations, as the mariners of old carried knowledge across the seas.
