(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.
