Nucleus of a New Society

Nucleus of a New Society

Talk given by Dharmasara on 2025-11-15.

In this talk, Dharmasara explores the role of community and friendship in Buddhist practice and the potential of spiritual life lived together.

Reflecting on his own experience, he describes how an initial search for a teaching gradually opened into a network of friends, teachers, and fellow practitioners, revealing new ways of understanding and deepening relationships.

Looking at the Sigalovada Sutta, the talk explores the six key relationships the Buddha encourages us to honour, and considers why friendship and responsibility within relationships are so central.

Enjoyed this talk? You are warmly invited to visit Buddhistisches Tor Berlin in Kreuzberg in person. Join us for meditation, Dharma talks, and courses that support practice in everyday life.
