A way of life

This morning Carolyn Loomis sent me a beautiful document and wondered if I knew who wrote it. I don't, as it happens, but it sounds like something Thich Nhat Hanh would write. I'm copying it for you here. If anyone recognizes the list below, please let me know and I'll pass on the information to Carolyn. In the meantime, we can all benefit from pondering the values espoused in this set of life commitments:

Recognize the interdependence of all beings.

Meet suffering directly and with compassion.

Appreciate the importance of not clinging to views and outcomes.

Connect individual and social transformation.

Practice nonviolence.

Use participatory decision-making techniques.

Protect and extend human rights.

Support gender and racial equality, and challenge all forms of unjust discrimination.

Work for economic justice and the end of poverty.

Work for a sustainable environment.

Update: Well, Carolyn googled the document and it's from the Buddhist Peace Fellowship mission statement that appeared right here on this blog on January 1, 2005. Mystery solved!
