Frank Ostaseski & Joan Halifax: Belonging: The Power of Community

Months of isolation exacerbate a pre-existing crisis of loneliness that poses as grave a threat to public health. For many it gives rise to a distinct yearning for community. Something within each of us cries out for belonging. The Buddha taught that good spiritual friends are the whole of the holy life. He encouraged us to take refuge in the Sangha community. We explored the power of community and the related responsibility that follows an appreciation of our interdependence, including supporting equity among people, symbiosis with other species and the sustainability of the planet.
