I would like to offer an example. There is a community called Order of Interbeing, composed of many members. The Order of Interbeing was founded in Vietnam during the war around 1963 or 1964. It's composed of monastics and lay people. It's composed of two kinds of communities: the core community, those who have formally received the Fourteen Trainings. And there are those who are called the core community. And there are those who have not formally received the Fourteen Trainings, but who participate in every activity of the Sangha. We call it Extended Community. And as a community, we need some kind of organization. We should organize. But because we have learned that if you are too well organized, it's not too good. We have seen the difference between an organization and an organism.

Being an organism that functions well, naturally there is some organization in that, but it's not intended. If there is harmony, if there is understanding, then you don't need to organize, and yet it is very well organized. When you look at the community of bees, you don't see a leader giving orders. You do this, you do that, coordinating things. Because the beehive is an organism. And the element of togetherness is there. The raison d'etre of the community is to be together, to be wonderfully together. And when you come together as an organism, suddenly the insight comes and everyone knows what to do. And it becomes very well organized without your attempt to organize. Many of us are Sangha builders. We have to focus our attention on this.
