Practicing Patience
from Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio Hosted by Free Buddhist Audio
Trusting Love Maitrisiddhi shows us the importance and value in holding the ideal of spiritual friendship alongside the reality of life in the Sangha. Our teacher Sangharakshita has said: "It is in friendship (maitri) that we may find the emotional equivalent of the intellectual understanding of the doctrine of 'no self'". The gift of these teachings can help us move beyond self-clinging into a deeper and far more mysterious connection with one another; a Greater Love. Excerpted from the talk entitled Spiritual Friendship: Ideal Versus the Real given at Taraloka Retreat Center, 2018. *** Subscribe to our Dharmabytes podcast: On Apple Podcasts | On Spotify | On Google Podcasts Bite-sized inspiration three times every week.
