How to find Sangha

The monthly mantra of Sangha continues… so now that we have some understanding of what a Sangha is and it’s importance, how do we find it in our lives (read past blog posts What is Sangha and Importance of Sangha for reference)?

We’ve defined a Sangha as a community of friends practicing awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony, and love. So the question becomes, if we seek these qualities from those in our lives, are we practicing them ourselves? A Sangha starts in our hearts when we embodying the qualities of a Sangha. When we can cultivate our own awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony, and love… that’s when we attract other like minded individuals. That’s when the Sangha comes to us. We notice those in our lives that are smiling, giving genuine affirmations of love, and practicing awareness. A Sangha can start small with 1 or 2 others who you feel a genuine connection with and then it grows over time. That’s how the Sangha can grow naturally and genuinely. There is no rush to create it. It just develops naturally over time as we live out our dharma (life purpose) and embody the essence of the community we want to be part of.

Tune in for next week’s discussion on how to cultivate and grow our Sangha.

With deep love and gratitude
