Sangha

In Buddhism, a Sangha is a group of Buddhists or a Buddhist community, sharing the same perspective, values and beliefs. The Sangha is an important element of Buddhist practice. Today, it may be difficult to find a Buddhist Sangha, even more so, in finding one that resonates with you. In addition some of us may not be comfortable in groups, so perhaps a community of one may help us. A Sangha of one? When the term itself indicates a collection of people? It sounds like a contradiction, but that may not matter.

I’m glad I discovered you here Joe. I’m 74; Jewish ,and have been a Buddhist a mental health patient and now I adopted a rescue puppy, I’m also the mother of two wonderful adult children. I love living but find so much struggle everyday, on the surface my life is easy. I have heath, love comfort, wealth, food. But usually scared and can’t feel Joy, seeking joy, contentment , how to get most out of life?
You seem to provide answers but I know I have the answers, I need to do the hard work. Helping others, even if it’s boring and I don’t want.

Thank you Joe ! Especially for keeping it simple , real , and attainable . 🙏🏻

Thanks Joe! It's always good to hear your tracks. Being your own Sangha is such a creative way to practice with self inquiry.
Love and blessings to you

This is so useful! Having faced a lifelong struggle to “fit in” the concept of finding my own way, which I have always had to do, now seems validated. I find this very comforting. Thank you
