"May I become at all times, both now and forever,
a protector for those without protection
a guide for those who have lost their way
a ship for those with oceans to cross
a bridge for those with rivers to cross
a sanctuary for those in danger
a lamp for those who need light
a place of refuge for those needing shelter
and a servant to all those in need."
—Shantideva, 8th Century Buddhist at Nalanda University in Bihar, India
Unitarian Univeralists, because of their covenant to affirm and promote seven principles, are indgigenous helpers in the communities where they are located.
