Overview
They say that the 21st century is a century of peace...then who
better to lead the world into the future than followers of Dharmic faiths.
Starting from this October 2001, we will be focusing on the applications
of our Dharmic principles to different aspects of our lives. The schedule
which has been chosen is as follows:
Oct 2001: Dharma and Self Health
Nov 2001: Dharma and Seva & Humanitarianism
Dec 2001: Dharma and Global Village, World Peace, & Human Rights
Jan 2001: Dharma and Science
Feb 2002: Dharma and Religion
March 2002: Dharma and Society, Family, Women, & Youth
April 2002: Dharma and the Environment
May 2002: Dharma and Government & Politics
June 2002: Dharma and Economics & Management
July 2002: Dharma and Everyday Life
We will encourage all other Dharmic religions to get involved, i.e.
Buddhist, Sikh, Jain. We will be contacting national organizations that
are dedicated to each of these areas, i.e. environmental, seva, political,
etc., and explaining how Dharma applies to their area. More specifically,
each month there will be activities planned to illustrate the theme
for that month. For example, during the month of April, each chapter
can participate by performing one of four or five activities to illustrate
our Dharma to the environment. There will be many activities, discussions,
seminars, etc. that are going to be planned. This should definitely
be an exciting, yet busy, year for HSC.
We need all HSC members to take an active role in making this ambitious
project a reality.
There are four main ways to get involved:
1) Participate in the seminars, email discussions, and activities
planned for each of the monthly themes. Encourage your chapter to plan
activities and discussions around the monthly themes.
3) You can also participate in the planning as an individual. In
addition to the chapter-based committees that will plan the monthly
themes, HSC also needs volunteers for an overall infrastructure committee.
This committee will facilitate all of the dharma activities. Some duties
of this committee include promoting the event, contacting other national
organizations, supplying press releases to the local chapters, and enabling
all of the necessary communication. This national infrastructure committee
has already been hard at work for nearly two months now, but it's not
too late to join.
4) If you has some artistic skills, and would like to contribute
to this project, you can help by designing a logo and other designs
that will be used in press releases, posters, and t-shirts across the
country.
Please Contact Us:
* If you are a member of HSC/NetOHM, Officer of a chapter and want
you or your chapter to be involved.
* If you are not part of HSC and want to contribute as an individual.
* If you belong to or head another organization and would like to
join us either actively or as sponsors.
