This is from the Dhammapada: If you find a wise person, Who points out your faults and corrects you, You should follow such a sage, As you would a revealer of treasures. It is better, never worse To follow such a sage. This is the first of two talks that explore spiritual friendship. One teacher who really emphasized the importance of community is Thich Nhat Hahn, who once said that the next Buddha would be the Sangha. The next Buddha will be the community. And so perhaps it's time for us to wake up as a community, as much as it is as individuals.
