Efforts for Social Upliftment - What a temple can do?

Our culture,  the million old legacy..  Our culture which was designed to lead everyone, knowingly or unknowingly in the spiritual path, towards liberation is on a road block due to lack of awareness 
1/n
Spirituality being the core of the cultural thread in this diverse nation, its time to bring back the scientific and spiritual heritage,  towards inclusiveness 

Its time for every temple to become a Takshashila, Nalanda and Sharada Peedham..

2/n
and a means to ensure social security.   

Social security..  why its important? ..  as we look in to our society..  we see.. different people of capability in terms of economic stability.

The economic growth in a community should have lead to a stable, 
3/n
peaceful and prosperous society.  On the other hand.. we see lots of crime.. inhuman..why?  

Economic stability,  if leads to unmindful accumulation of wealth.. without concern and efforts to uplift the fellow citizens will lead to wealth gap and
4/n
exploitation which subsequently leads to crimes robbery. In simpler terms we can look at this one way...  a wealthy man sleeps in his home peacefully every day.. and a poor left without means for a meal in a day.. will one day come and robe the wealthy.. ..  5/n
may kill also for his own survival and security..  if the wealth gap is too much.. then this robbery and crimes can become organized also.

Where did we fail here.. in this case.. the wealth we had.. but we didn't had any means to take care of the people living around also. 6/n
which we ignored conveniently.. was a time bomb..  if not ruined our lives,  but can ruin the coming generation because its inevitable without right actions.  

In this direction..  Bodhi envision to make every temple a means for support of the community 7/n
around through daily annadanam,  through collective efforts of the people around the temple, share job opportunities for sustained earning for a living,  job opportunities for the young educated masses ..  offer and coordinate efforts to find the eligible
8/n
people for schemes of governments and offer spiritual teachings for a stable management of their daily life.
If the daily sustenance and one meal at least can be ensured through a temple, it will take care of  the insecurity and in turn the spiritual aspirations
9/n
can be nurtured. 

🌼Lets nurture Budhas of next generation.
