Series
- Sangha as the Whole of the Practice 2016-07-05
Description
We spend a lot of time in contemplations around the Buddha and the Dhamma. Rarely do we spend time contemplating the nature and importance of Sangha even through most of us are aware that Buddha held the Sangha as the whole of the practice. Throughout the month of July, we will explore the nature of Sangha, both the Noble Sangha which has existed for over 2,500 years and our Sangha at Seattle Insight. This week we will consider what makes Sangha a place for refuge.
Homework
What makes Sangha a place for refuge for you? Consider where your practice would be without Sangha. Have your intentions towards renunciation, goodwill and harmlessness increased? Can you sense the qualities of Lovingkindness and Compassion in your way of living?
