Sangha as the Whole of the Practice: From Relationship to Community




Seattle Insight Meditation Society show

Summary: Kalyana mitrata – spiritual friendship – is at the heart of Sangha. This spiritual friendship keeps us all strong and committed as we walk this path to awakening together. We sit with one another and at the same time we sit for one another. Together we can have the courage to move into the unknown, to abandon our habits of mind and to step into our Buddha nature. We can experience both the relative and ultimate realities of practice. This week we will consider what it means to be a spiritual community.
