The Mystery of Spiritual Friendship
In the opening talk of the
series,
Padmasagara explores the
profundity of the Buddha's statement that spiritual friendship is
'the whole of the spiritual life' or, in other words, the whole of
the Going for Refuge. He emphasises the "guhya" (secret or hidden)
nature of spiritual friendship and demonstrates how its emergence
in the world was inseparable from the Buddha's ineffable Nirvana.
Excerpted from the talk
The Mystery of Spiritual Friendship, part of the series
Of the Mysteries of Spiritual Friendship and the Three Tantric
Refuges, given at
Padmaloka Retreat
Centre,
2022.
