Noble Friendship as Factor for Stream Entry | Kalyana Mitta | Sotapattiyangani | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the importance of 'Beautiful, Admirable Friendship' (Kalyānamittatā) for our Dhamma progress.

"Having good spiritual friends is 100% of the holy life"

(The Buddha, Saṃyutta Nikāya/Connected Discourses 45.2)


Ajahn points out the connection with the 4 Factors of Stream Entry (Sotāpattiyangāni):

  1. Association with Good Persons (Sappurisa-saṃseva)
  2. Hearing the True Dhamma (Saddhamma-savanaṃ)
  3. Wise Attention (Yoniso Manasikāra)
  4. Practising Dhamma in Line with Dhamma (Dhammānudhamma-patipatti)

Number one is personal contact with someone who has realized the Dhamma. Personal association with an Arahant or Streamenterer, even if only for a short time, is the first of four conditions to realize the Dhamma oneself.

Ajahn Dhammasīha encourages us not to completely substitute that personal association with youtube, reading and listening to recordings. Without the personal contact, we may miss out on a crucial factor for gaining the vision of Dhamma ourselves.
