Communion

Pine Wind Zen Community Audio

Ultimately the goal of any authentic Spiritual Path especially The Path of a Spiritual Warrior is "Communion"; First with Mystery, call it God or Dharma, or Buddha, it is that which is larger than ourself; next with the Teachings (Dharma) manifested in myriad forms of energy that make the Universe what it is, and finally with Others (Community or Sangha). Tonight we will discuss the concept of - The Three Jewels or Refuges of Buddhism and how it contrasts with faith-based beliefs such as, The Trinity, and how this concept when fully understood empowers anyone to create a conducive environment at home, in our relationships, in the workplace and in our daily lives for real "Community" what the Ancient Mystics referred to as "The Communion of Saints", and what Buddhism calls "Sangha". If Communion is not our Intention then truly we are destined to "wander from dark path to dark path". "Community may very well be the only antidote for a society where individualism has reached the level of the pathological."
