the way of integration and inheritance,in which harmony thought was also accepted by Buddhist culture.The six points of reverent harmony or unity theory are one of the essential doctrines of Buddhism.The six points of respectful harmony or unity in a monastery or convent are human unity in the form of worship,oral unity in chanting,mental unity in faith,moral unity in observing the commandments,doctrinal unity in views and explanations and economic integration in the community of goods,deeds,studies or charity.Buddhist monks use these six points of reverent to form their Sangha.All Buddhist monks must remember these six principles to ensure that the ordinary life in the Sangha in harmony and all have respects for one another.The Sangha management plays the internal power of unity,the monk’s self-cultivation,Dharma,and maintaining and expanding the practice of Buddhism throughout the world.Buddhism believes that in this world,all phenomena are not independently existence;but instead,all are related and needed to survive.The way we think,behave,and talk will not only affect our living environment and destiny,but it will also affect others.It,therefore,requires that people of different ethnics,beliefs,and or religions to find ways to live with each other.They need to control their desires,ignorance,greed,and hatred to prevent the artificial misbehavior.People also need to eliminate the ethical behavior to have a positive effect on the harmonious and stable development of the social value of life.However,people are not readily aware of the Buddhist six points of respectful harmony or unity.And people who have heard of this might think of it as a kind of management system inside the Buddha Sangha.In the world market economy
