Taking Refuge in the Sangha as a Practice
This title has been reviewed for accuracy.
Thay details the significance of Sangha, emphasizing unity, mindfulness, and collective intelligence akin to bees, ants, and termites. Living in Sangha supports spiritual practice, diminishes suffering, and enhances joy. Mindfulness in daily activities like walking and eating nurtures the Sangha and individual well-being, and leads to concentration and insight, connecting us to life’s wonders and ultimate dimensions. Building Sangha is crucial in a world plagued by individualism and compassion.
This is the first talk of a series of twelve given during The Eyes of the Buddha, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 2000. Thay offered this talk at the Upper Hamlet in Plum Village, France.
