Bodhi Mitta

“Venerable sir, this is half of the holy life, that is, good friendship, good companionship, good comradeship.”

​

“Not so, Ānanda! Not so, Ānanda! This is the entire holy life, Ānanda, that is, good friendship, good companionship, good comradeship. When a bhikkhu has a good friend, a good companion, a good comrade, it is to be expected that he will develop and cultivate the Noble Eightfold Path."
