The Order As A Channel

- Sangharakshita didn't create the movement personally; he enabled a stream of spiritual energy to ground through him.
Keep Returning To The Source
- Keep returning to Sangharakshita's original presentation to preserve unity and depth in the movement.
- Resist letting individual adaptations fragment the stream of spiritual energy into weak, divergent rivulets.
Service Predicts Stability
