Buddhist Scripture

  • grounded in faith
  • buhddist texts

 

Thousands of people may live in a community but it is not one of real fellowship until they know each other mutually and have sympathy for one another. A true community has faith and wisdom that illuminate it. It is a place where the people know and trust one another and where there is social harmony.

- From Mahaparinirvana-Sutra
