Sangha as the Whole of the Practice: Sangha is Dhamma Plus Love (and Forgiveness Ceremony)
When we open to the gift of Sangha there is but one response – gratitude. Gratitude is made up of connection, appreciation, generosity and love. Being a part of Sangha provides us the opportunity to serve others, express our generosity and to inspire a fellow practitioner. Gratitude goes hand in hand with forgiveness. Together they diminish the influence of greed, hatred and delusion and fill our practice with motivation, reassurance and enthusiasm. This week we will consider the role Sangha plays in cultivating Metta. This talk is also presented in video here: http://seattleinsight.org/Talks/Talk/TalkID/840
