Episode Synopsis

In the famous Upaddha Sutta,the Buddha's disciple Ananda suggested that "admirable friendship" is half of the holy life … and the Buddha exclaimed, strongly, "no, it is the whole of the holy life." In this new talk, Shell explores the importance of cultivating Kalyanamitra(a Sanskrit word that means "spiritual friendship, or "noble friend") and why it's essential that we nourish this same strong friendship with the most important person in our lives – ourselves.
