“It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community – a community practising understanding and loving kindness, a community practising mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth.”
Thich Nhat Hanh.
Hm, beautiful
(and immediately I was thinking of the Glastonbury Summer Gathering this year, but would not want to claim buddha status for us, as I think you didn’t intend to either, if that makes sense.)

Aha.***Yes, and yes, and YES!
And responding to Sonja, you may be right in your instinct, what if there was a group in the process of *becoming* a collective Buddha? Mmm…Food for thinking.
