    Basic chiral QCD parameters (the pion decay constant, the quark and gluon condensates, the dynamically generated quark mass, etc) as well as the vacuum energy density (up to the sign, by definition, the bag constant) have been calculated from first principles within a recently proposed zero modes enhancement (ZME) model of the true QCD vacuum. Our unique input data was chosen to be the pion decay constant in the chiral limit as given by the chiral perturbation theory at the hadronic level (CHPTh). In order to analyze our numerical results we set a scale by two different ways. In both cases we obtain almost the same numerical results for all chiral QCD parameters. Phenomenological estimates of these quantites as well as vacuum energy density are in good agreement with our numerical results. Complementing them by the numerical value of the instanton contribution to the vacuum energy density, we predict new, more realistic values for the vacuum energy density, the bag constant and the gluon condensate.Comment: 22 pages in total , 8 figures, 4 tables ; RevTex package use
