Buddhism and Friendship
by Subhuti with Subhamati
|
 Spiritual
friendship is the whole of
the spiritual life.
The Buddha
In what way is spiritual friendship the whole of the spiritual
life? How does it support our spiritual growth? Why do so
many discussions of Buddhism overlook
it?
In Buddhism and Friendship, Subhuti considers these questions by delving into
teachings and stories from the Buddhist scriptures as well as by drawing on
Western thinkers and personal experience of friendship on the Buddhist path.
The author invites us to develop a wide and deep understanding of spiritual
friendship, encompassing relationships not only with teachers but also with
our peers. Buddhism
and Friendship offers practical ways for us to cultivate, deepen and extend
our friendships, so that they can inspire and shape our spiritual lives.
Explore the riches of intimacy, respect, trust and mutual support that friendship
at its best can bestow.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
