Deep Roots Need Good Soil

Posted by Monty McKeever on 12 Jul 2010 in

Today’s Daily Dharma:

If you have a supportive sangha, it’s easy to nourish your bodhicitta, the seeds of enlightenment. If you don’t have anyone who understands you, who encourages you in the practice of the living dharma, your desire to practice may wither. Your sangha—family, friends, and copractitioners—is the soil, and you are the seed. No matter how vigorous the seed is, if the soil does not provide nourishment, your seed will die. A good sangha is crucial for the practice. Please find a good sangha or help create one.

-Thich Nhat Hanh, "The Fertile soil of Sangha"
