Look what we are trying. You call it dharma, but it is not. What we are trying is to come together; come together to an understanding. The difference is, the discipline is, the commitment is that we are going to come together with the following guiding lines: 'May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you guide your way on.'

We come together, we create our families, we chose our mates out of the desire to form a life together.

Love is stronger than all artificial divisions that exist n our world.
