Answer:

Sanghas function best when the members

take care of one another. This holds true

even when the definition of Sangha is

extended to include all kinds of groups;

e.g. one’s household, circle of friends,

neighborhood, nation, or global

community. Of course we need good

leaders, yet there are different types of

leaders. A good leader empowers others,

sharing both responsibility and the

satisfaction of a job well done. It may

even be possible to have a Sangha where

all the members function in their own

way as leaders and there is a genuine

feeling of joint ownership.

I’d like to share two stories that

illustrate how the Dharma teachings can

influence how a Sangha functions. One

story is set in rural Japan where a village

is looking for a new leader. The villagers

think of an ingenious test. They fill a

large, shallow stone basin, measuring

about twenty feet in diameter, with very

hot water. They ask their two candidates

to demonstrate their abilities in some

fashion. The first candidate is a

powerfully built man who has undergone

rigorous martial arts training. He strips

down to his fundoshi (Japanese-style

underpants) and with a determined

attitude, slowly steps into the water.

Beads of sweat appear on his face as he

lowers himself deeper and deeper in the

hot water. Whispers are heard among the

villagers, “What courage!” “What

discipline!” The man then steps out of

the water, refuses an offered towel, and

calmly sits down on a nearby rock.

The second candidate is a middle-

aged woman known for her marital

ability of fostering a harmonious

household. As she stood before the

basin of steaming hot water, her two

children cry out, “Mom, don’t go in!”

She hesitates and after a moment of

thought, smiles and signals her husband

and his two brothers to bring tubs of cold

water from the nearby stream. She asks

for the tubs of cold water to be poured

into the stone basin. She then takes her

two children and steps into the water.

As her children are splashing and

laughing, she calls out for all the

villagers to join them.

Answer:

  • In my life, I have gone on many memorable trips. I look forward to my families annual trip to Georgia every year, and I will never forget our trip to Graceland or all the different family events we’ve gone to out east. But the one trip that has stayed in my mind and had the greatest impact on me wasn’t a family trip. It was my synagogue’s youth group trip to Cincinnati.

But the one trip that has stayed in my mind and had the greatest impact on me wasn’t a family trip. It was my synagogue’s youth group trip to Cincinnati. Every year my temple youth group takes all it’s freshmen on a special trip to Cincinnati, as part of their confirmation in the Jewish faith. We all got up early on a Friday and the bus departed at seven. After an exhaustingly long bus ride it was time for our first destination. We all got dressed up in our good clothes and arrived at a church. Actually it wasn’t a church. It was the first reformed Jewish temple ever established in the world. The founders wanted to create a place of worship that was seemingly identical to the norm (Christianity.) The temple had an Ottoman-esque interior, roofed with elaborately painted domes, lined with traditional wooden pews, with a massive organ in the back that’s pipes snaked up the wall like ivy. There was even a steeple (back when the temple was first built, the neighboring church made their steeple taller because they didn’t want to be outdone by jews.) The only tip-off that this wasn’t a church was that there were no crosses.
