In sangha, we commune deeply with one another.

We commune deeply with the forces of nature.

We commune deeply with the divine.

We become a part of something much bigger than ourselves.

We become a part of what is going on in the world around us.

We become a part of the solution.

Instead of scarcity we celebrate enough.

Instead of separation, we work towards unity.

Instead of competition, we embrace co-operation.

Instead of conflict, we bring reconciliation.

We find a new way to practise humanity: a profound interconnectedness with all that is life.

And when you’ve found your place within your sangha, may you be overwhelmed by a deep sense of gratitude.

For this is indeed a gift to be treasured.
