(Ananda was the Buddha’s cousin, and one of his earliest disciples……)
”One day Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while, turned to the Buddha and exclaimed…
‘Lord, I have been thinking – Spiritual Friendship is at least half of spiritual life!’
The Buddha replied, ‘Say not so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual Friendship is the whole of spiritual life!’
Samyutta Nikaya, Verse 2
Generally just Being. Nothing in particular, no claims to fame. I like gardening and the sea, nature, art in all forms from poetry to films and everything in between, and being in the company of my family.
