Three-Fold Logic of Sangha
December 23, 2020
Jack Bodner came across a scanned, un-signed document titled “Three-Fold Logic of Deleks”. He shared it and I thought it could easily be retitled “The Three-Fold Logic of Sangha”. Here it is:
Ground
- In order to realize our precious human birth
- It is necessary to share the buddhadharma.
- In order to share the buddhadharma, it is necessary to make friends with each other
Path
- When we are friends with each other, we are aware of others’ needs.
- When we are aware of others’ needs, everyday life is not limited to personal concerns.
- When our life is not limited to personal concerns, we consider others as part of our family.
Fruition
- When others are part of our family, we are dedicated to their benefit.
- When we are dedicated to the benefit of others, we protect their well-being.
- When we protect the well-being of others, this previous human birth becomes continuous delight.
