TAO SANGHA AND NPO UNI

Are human beings able to live and create relationships and exchange amongst each other without conflicts arising because of differences such as nation, race, religion, beliefs etc…? Who has never dreamt of peace and happiness among all human beings? Is this just a dream or is it our collective human mission?

The present generation is facing many problems. The population on the earth is increasing exponentially and every living system on the earth is in decline. Because of a misdistribution of resources, over a fifth of the earth’s population is chronically hungry or starving¹ and the top fifth of the population in developed nations consume 86% of the world’s goods.²Poverty, sickness, lack of education, human rights abuse, violence, isolation and despair are epidemic.

Children have always symbolized our hope for the future but many youth growing up today are having a hard time imagining a bright future for themselves and the world.

To face this myriad of problems, we must first recognize the inherent spiritual nature of this crisis. The problems and solutions lie within the individual, collective and Universal heart. If we see this clearly, we can overcome these problems with passion, imagination, wisdom and love. With clear hearts we can arrive at the next stage of development in our spiritual progress.

NPO UNI is the action of a spiritual culture to realise this mission. Uni stands for the wish that all of us can be Universally Unified with respect to each other’s Uniqueness.
