Episode: Ajahn Sucitto: Patient relationship is the Sangha vehicle
Description: (Cittaviveka) (The occasion of Magha Puja)
The Buddha established the Great Assembly (male/female monastic/lay) to preserve the ongoing transmission of Dhamma. Patiently bearing with conditions is the way to curtail negative engagement - and relate more wisely. Thus one acknowledges what arises as objects - and thus reveal the open knowing. With this, a purer relationship to what arises, rather than identifying with it, is established.
