International Day of Co-operatives
“The entire cosmos is a cooperative. The sun, the moon, and the stars live together as a cooperative. The same is true for humans and animals, trees and soil. Our bodily parts function as a cooperative. When we realize that the world is a mutual, interdependent, cooperative enterprise, that human beings are all mutual friends in the process of birth, old age, suffering, and death, than we an build a noble, even heavenly environment. If our lives are not based in this truth, the we shall perish.”
Buddhadasa Bhikku
