Being Your Own Best FriendI believe people are so unhappy because they try to understand what is happening out
in the world and outside of themselves.
What is the nature of friendship? Our friends are those who we depend on; who we look
to in order to belong, who we wish to help in their time of need, and who we seek for
comfort and counsel. We spend so much time trying to invest in our status and our
relationships in order to find fulfillment, and in doing so we frequently forget our own
well-being, or put our own selves at the bottom of our list.
In my experience, whether the relationship is with a family member, spouse, or friend,
these still exist outside of our inner world, and no dissatisfaction can be completely
resolved from the outside. To find true peace and happiness we must start working from
the inside out; we must understand our true nature and work to create peace inside
ourselves. It is only when we can be a noble friend to ourselves, that we can be a noble
friend to another. There is no way out but in.
Join me, Bhante Sujatha, in this 2-hour workshop for an open conversation about our
habit of seeking outward gratification, and the path to discovering our inner value in
order to learn how to authentically love ourselves and become our own best friends.
