Examples of community service of your community and its members

[Samana Johann]

Btw., just an idea and maybe encouraging, you could look for ways that people don't feel to contribute for google-add trafic, e.g. commercial purpose, but that others are given by generosity of others to enjoy a possibility. If things related to goodness and gratitude are all outsourced, nobody understand giving, debt and gratitude but feels for a while ease feeding on loan, feeding with a feeling to do not owe anything and steady wonders then about the bills, isolation...

What can there be called religion if it is not based on voluntary generosity at first place, a giver, say Brahma, first? That's all about "marxism" and the dream of feeding without debts.
So one needs to be a sample at first place, and that is not demanding or claiming, but just giving at first hand, without consumer attitude. "Heros" with neither means nor willingness to simply sacrifices that what they own themselves... the world is full of demanding people = poor.

Once you realice that you are actually able to give, right in this moment you become a rich person, put your self on the rich side, how ever material poor you might be, and good people follow real rich people, not the poor ones who seek nothing else then outwardly gain.

If one focuses on the causes one can give, thats the right place. If one focuses on effects, fruits... nothing but suffering, wrongdoing, conflicts... Having given good cause by ones actions, effect to it's cause come. The same for bad.

How about the relation to the first Gods, ones parents (here the forum creators)? People who have no gratitude toward their Gods, starting by their parents, don't have put them on the right place, are mostly those who engages in what ever other, less related, search for community and walk on the streets for such.

Again: own heart, own family, own community... if that is fine, then one can go out. It's total nonsens to start at the macro but simply greedy.

I’ve revised my note at the beginning of my OP in this thread.

Mudita with the sure bliss that comes from generosity.

As the question is asking for samples: less may be familar, but there is actually a perfect community, or lets say, there was one founded, probably the only still lasting, if, and it is called the Sangha of the Buddha, a community with it's strikt rules and independent from what ever worldly sociaty, a community of recluses, with even rules of how to relate to other communities.
Over the time, in many origin countries, lay people start to adopt certain things, of course its not possible to adopt all by householder. But for certain spiritual communities, also householders, worthy to learn a little from it, at least by words and scripts: Dhamma Vinaya

My person, how ever, likes to warn from the use it as means for a actually marxistic ideology, something nearly all "religions" have already adopted: holding community (we, mine) as their object of sacrifices, god, sublime targed for sacrifices.

All of this would require a lot of explainings and corrections of views, modern now, and it's not to be expected that many would have much interest to understand what the basics and aims of (re)ligions, bounds, are since used to live in an imagination of pseudo-liberalism, liberality that is founded on wrong viewsviews.

Such as "interfaith" is actually a total illusionary thing in days where there are actually no more large faith, religions are virtual alive, but simply serves to uproot the last objects of Sublimity and helps to cut all down to the lowest equal, for the sake of food, material, trade and gain. Only traders are found in such areas and it's not different to trade joinadventures at all.

Hard enough to maintain ones own small community well and nothing good behind using the lable of "de-velopment" for actually envelopment. Nobody this days would know where to start to work out his debts, so multi-in-debted everywhere.

If leader of communities meet each other, seek for good relation, that is good and right. If the folk, not even devoted to the leader of their tribe, seeks in inter, what does it actually seek for, others then a opposition toward the own hierachy?
