Amida Newcastle sangha, linked together by Amida's Golden Chain
The following verse is taught to children in the Pureland tradition:
"I am a link in Amida Buddha's Golden Chain of Love
that stretches round the world.
Let me keep my link bright and strong.
Namo Amida Bu."
This verse teaches us that we do not practice just for ourselves. We are part of a chain of love. We trust that whatever good we do in life contributes to something bigger than ourselves.

There's an interesting discussion on sangha here
on Friends of Amida. Do join FOA if you're not a member yet, and join in the discussion or any others that take your fancy!
Namo Amida Bu
