The Mission of the Buddhist Sangha of Bucks County is: To Present, Teach and
Practice Buddhism, and To Provide Meditation Instruction and Community Service in a
Manner Consistent with the Teaching of the Buddha.
From the President: Building community, serving others, practicing and sharing the
Dharma made this past year a fruitful year one. Just look at a list of some of what went
on:
The lending library of Buddhist study material continued to expand and be
utilized.

2005 watched as new people joined the Sangha adding their wisdom and labor
to its life.
These are the highlights of the past year. – built on the foundation of consistently
meditating and working together, supporting one another on this path.
Two marks empower the Sangha’s success. One, the cohesiveness of those on the
Board and those working within the Sangha. There is a deep sense of respect,
deference, loyalty and unity. We move in the spirit of consensus understanding that in
our interdependence wisdom is a composite thing. Two, the warmth with which new
faces are welcomed. New faces bring the precious gifts of new ideas, energy and
visions. A hearty thanks to all of you who nurture these qualities among us!
As we walk the path, taking refuge in the Three Jewels, growing in compassion toward
one another and all beings 2005 looks exciting!
