Returning to self by mindfully walking, breathing, sitting and eating, is a safe place based on real experience. While Dharma is compassion, understanding and love, to realize it we need a Sangha, or community and elements which support our practice. Holiness is within us when we live in harmony, or when a community sits, breathes, walks and eats together in harmony. Dharma and Sangha are doors to heart of Buddha. A mindful, peaceful liberated community is a true Sangha; The three elements "inter-are," and each jewel contains the other two. There are 84,000 Dharma doors; Sanghas are the Buddha we need in this century. Hanh offers a chant that combines the three jewels and refuges in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
