United in Harmony ... !!!
Bhikkhu Samahita
Friends:
These 6 Things Uniting in Harmony are to be Remembered :
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 and in
private.
2: Friendly Speech (metta-vaci-kamma=friendly
verbal action) both in
public and in private.
3: Friendly Thought (metta-mano-kamma=friendly
mental action) both in
public and 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 the same general
views.
These 6 things are to be
considered & remembered both for individual & social Harmony...
