We believe in bold dreaming from the words of Thich Nhat Hanh the “next Buddha will be a sangha” to Margaret Mead “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” – that there is a way to end suffering and that way is by introducing not theoretically but in practice the experience of union.
