“ Human beings need food, shelter, love, relationship, truth, meaning, promise, hope
a future in which they can take hold of their new dignity ” ( A new 12 point plan).
The poor, form us nourish us, in identity We listen attentively to the needs of the people we serve .
Frontiers that call us are the poor, displaced , lonely. Those who ignore God, use God for political purposes. Earth,
degraded and plundered.
We are called to be with Christ(Compassion of God) at the heart of the world
Buddhists are called to be loving Compassion at heart of the world. (One of our team)
We want to contemplate God, at work inside everything,
to seek and find this Source of Love in everything
God often appears when we least expect.
We want to open ourselves to the thirst, hunger of the world
We want to set all things alight with love.
We want to build bridges between rich and poor and build Advocacy links between those who hold political power and those who find it difficult to voice their interest. (MORE NEXT LINK)
