Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Namaste- I heard that Thich Naht Than (sp?) the Vietnamese Monk said when asked about the coming of the next Buddha... "The next Buddha will be the sangha" Hari Om! Gina Karen [karenborak] Tuesday, September 07, 2004 5:24 PM Third-tier Satsang Namaste ALL, Satsang: Spiritual Fellowship. Satsang means keeping company with fellow devotees. The mutual support of others with similar interests, especially those further along the path, can be a continual source of inspiration. Seeking out the company of a God- intoxicated mystic is the best form of satsang short of the ecstatic experience of God's presence itself. Reading about gods and saints and keeping their pictures around is a second-tier form of satsang. ---Linda Johsen Namaste, Karen PS After reading this, I thought our cyber group might be considered third-tier satsang.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Yes, I believe that is true. There are sanghas of devotees here and there, but a sangha of people discipined in tapas is really something special. That is the type of sangha that my soul years to partake of. , "Gina Sala" <ginasala@w...> wrote: > Namaste- > I heard that Thich Naht Than (sp?) the Vietnamese Monk said when asked about > the coming of the next Buddha... > > "The next Buddha will be the sangha" > > Hari Om! > > Gina > > > Karen [karenborak@e...] > Tuesday, September 07, 2004 5:24 PM > > Third-tier Satsang > > > > Namaste ALL, > > Satsang: Spiritual Fellowship.
