Bhikkhu Bodhi: Shorter Discourse in Gosinha, 1 of 2

In this podcast episode, we explore the Chula Gosinga Sutta, which highlights the harmonious relationship among three Buddhist monks: Anuruddha, Nandiya, and Kimbhila. Unlike a previous discussion on dealing with abuse, this sutta showcases the beauty of communal living, emphasizing mutual respect, loving-kindness (metta) in thoughts, words, and actions, and the importance of prioritizing group harmony over personal desires. The monks demonstrate their commitment to spiritual growth and peaceful coexistence through shared responsibilities and moments of silence, enriched by discussions on Dhamma.
