This reflection offers a review of the seven qualities of a good friend. In our Dhamma cultivation, we practice being a good friend ourselves, which affects how we are able to be a good friend to others.
This talk is a continuation of a series on the Dasadhamma Sutta, which offers 10 reflections that support practice on retreat. This talk covers the 3rd and 4th reflections: working skillfully with our habitual tendencies, and learning from, rather than feeling guilty about, past actions that may have been unskillful.
We explore how practice on the cushion translates personally, relationally, and socially. We emphasize compassion, acting without expecting results, and working with anger. Good for activists!
