GRATITUDE AND JOY FOR GOOD FRIENDS

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

As we come to the end of 2022, it's a good opportunity to reflect on how we've connected through the Buddha and his Teachings, and to honour the good friendship we've cultivated together.

It's a time to express heartfelt gratitude and joy. (*Listen to the end if you can*)

Blessings and good wishes, to all our brothers and sisters in Dhamma, as we close out the year and head into a new one.

May the Noble Eightfold Path unfold with ease and safety. May your spiritual faculties continue to sharpen. May wisdom grow. May the Path bear fruit. May your aspirations be fulfilled.
