Friends:
The Blessed Buddha once said:
These six things are to be remembered in order to Unite any Community in
Harmony:
Which six?
1: Friendly Behaviour (metta-kaya-kamma=friendly
bodily action) both in public & in private.
2: Friendly Speech (metta-vaci-kamma=friendly
verbal action) both in public & in private.
3: Friendly Thought (metta-mano-kamma=friendly
mental action) both in public & in private.
4: Sharing of Gains (sadharana-bhogi=common
wealth) even down to any single lump of food.
5: Moral Harmony (sila-samannagato=uniform
morality): All respect the same ethical rules.
6: Harmony in Views (ditthi-samannagato=uniform
attitude): All share same general views.
These 6 things are to be considered and remembered both for individual &
social Harmony...
