Theme: Sangha and Lineage – The Flow of Wisdom

In Buddhism, wisdom is not a private possession but a shared illumination,

transmitted through Sangha and Lineage. It arises where practice, relationship, and understanding converge — not as doctrine but as living experience. Within the Sangha, we

learn from each other’s sincerity; through Lineage, we receive the distilled wisdom of those who walked before us.

Wisdom manifests not only as insight but as the way we live together — in

kindness, restraint, and compassion. The Buddha’s wisdom flows through

the ancestors to us, and through us to future generations. When we sit, listen, and serve together, the boundaries between teacher and student, past and present, quietly

dissolve. In this timeless flow, wisdom reveals itself — as community, as continuity, as the heart of the Buddha Way.
