#Universalism is generally described as "Everyone is saved."
My take on universalism is "No one is saved unless everyone is saved."
It doesn't matter how you personally define salvation - whether it's heaven or Beloved Community or liberation - we do not achieve it unless everyone is included.
If you haven't already seen them, #PlumVillage released new parallel verses for us to contemplate this year. One the many innovations that Master #ThichNhatHanh gave us was to write the verses in multiple languages, allowing different people to contemplate them in their native language.

2/2 "So perhaps, first of all, resistance means opposition to being invaded, occupied, assaulted, and destroyed by the system. The purpose of resistance, here, is to seek the healing of yourself in order to be able to see clearly. ... I think that communities of resistance should be places where people can return to themselves more easily, where the conditions are such that they can heal themselves and recover their wholeness.”
1/2 “I think it [resistance] is a very meaningful term. And resistance, at root, I think, must mean more than resistance against war. It is a resistance against all kinds of things that are like war. Because living in modern society, one feels that he cannot easily retain integrity, wholeness. One is robbed permanently of humanness, the capacity of being oneself… there are so many things ... in modern life that make you lose yourself."
"Living in the Beloved Community meant, for King, living in what he called “the World House,” or as Nhat Hanh would express it, “becoming a citizen of the world.”

"...Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. met for the first time in 1966; they met in person one other time before Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. They spent little time in each other’s company, and yet the energy of their meeting continues to ripple out into the world wherever people work for civil rights, peace, and community...."
