Monks going out to uplift the local community.

"The Word also makes known

heaven, earth, wind,

space, the waters, fire,

the Gods, men, animals,

birds, grass and trees,

all animals down to

worms, insects and ants.

It also makes known

what is right and wrong,

truth and untruth,

good and evil,

what is pleasing

and what is unpleasing.

Verily, if there were no Word,

there would be knowledge

neither of right and wrong,

nor of truth and untruth,

nor of the pleasing and unpleasing.

The Word makes all this known.

Meditate on the Word."

Sama Veda, ChandU 7.2.1. VE, 111
