The Buddha taught that Three Refuges support us in our practice: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. In the sangha, the Third Jewel of these Three Refuges, we can reflect and find inspiration. In sangha, our minds become harmonized, our bodies are invigorated, and our hearts are warmed.
Date of talk: September 20, 2009
Length: 26 minutes
Home Practice:
"How will you utilize Sangha as part of your spiritual growth?" As you step into this question and take action , you are opening yourself up to a wider and deeper opportunity to develop your practice.
