• In Buddhism, there are three gems: Buddha, the awakened one; Dharma,
  the way of understanding and loving; and Sangha, the community that
  lives in harmony and awareness. The three are interrelated, and at
  times it is hard to distinguish one from another. In everyone there
  is the capacity to wake up, to understand, and to love. So in
  ourselves we find Buddha, and we also find Dharma and Sangha.

Together we can rejoice in the longing for unity which the Lord has awakened in our hearts, and which makes us look with hope to the future.
