United in Harmony

These 6 Things Uniting in Harmony are to be Remembered :

The Blessed Buddha once said:
These six things are to be remembered in order to Unite any Community in Harmony:
Which six?

1: Friendly Behaviour (metta-kaya-kamma=friendly bodily action) both in public and in private.
2: Friendly Speech (metta-vaci-kamma=friendly verbal action) both in public and in private.
3: Friendly Thought (metta-mano-kamma=friendly mental action) both in public and in private.
4: Sharing of Gains (sadharana-bhogi=common wealth) even down to any single lump of food.
5: Moral Harmony (sila-samannagato=uniform morality) all respect the same ethical rules.
6: Harmony in Views (ditthi-samannagato=uniform attitude) all share the same general views.

These 6 things are to be considered & remembered both for individual & social Harmony...
