Dhamma reflection by Ajahn Dhammasiha at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage during Coronavirus lockdown in Brisbane, Australia. He quotes from Saṃyutta Nikāya, Dhātusaṃyutta, Cankamasutta (Connected Discourses of the Buddha 14.15 - page 638), where the Buddha points out various groups of disciples walking meditation together. All of those in each group have similar mental qualities and interests; e.g. all of Ven. Sāriputta's followers have great wisdom. The Buddha then explains that at all times beings come together during their journey through Saṃsāra according to their mental inclinations: Those of ordinary interests associate with similar characters, while those with wholesome, beautiful aspirations gravitate towards like-minded persons who share lofty ideals.You can see the video version of this talk on our vimeo channel, to give you an idea how the live podcast actually looks like on our end 😉https://vimeo.com/407456070www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.vimeo.com/dhammatalkswww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.castbox.fm/ch/2744970
