Dream it.

It all begins with a sense of togetherness. Everything in this world is interlinked and interdependent amongst one another. Let us dream together to find unity in diversity.

Build it.

When we come together as one, we are surrounded by like-minded individuals. We are all the same, finding peace in the Buddha’s teachings. Let us build the community together, the sangha, that we can share the good with the world.

Grow it.

When we have a diverse community that can unite in one to share, we can grow exponentially. Together we can grow to share the teachings of the Buddha to bring peace to all beings.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth. — Buddha

Buddha was speaking in a village square one day when one of the inhabitants started to abuse him. Buddha paused and said to the man, "If you offer me a piece of paper and I refuse to accept it, what happens to the paper?" "Why, it stays with me, of course," the villager replied. Buddha smiled gently, "And that is exactly what I am doing with your abuse," he said. "I am not accepting it, therefore it stays with you." — Buddha
