Happy and Delightful Lunar New Year! May you have the courage of a tiger, stand up for yourself, and stand up for other people.

In the word courage is the word French word “cour”, which means “heart”. It’s an ancestor of the English word “core”. Courage comes from the heart. Care is in both your heart and mine. When you allow this care to flow naturally, acting out of care for our boundless community becomes natural, no matter what the obstacles.

It’s easier to be courageous together. This is the power of the sangha, the community. When we sit together, walk together, and work together, we encourage each other. This creates conditions for joy and peace in all of our lives. This is Community Care. Let us know how we can support you to act with care for the health and well being of others.
