I am enjoying finding fellow spirits, would like to "be friends" on livejournal. My spouse & I practice in the Thich Nhat Hanh tradition.

I have added you back :)

I actually go to a Triratna Buddhist Centre (formally the FWBO - founded by Sangharakshita), but Thich Nhat Hanh is my greatest inspiration. I have read many of his books, and personally think he is the wisest person I've ever come across.

Are you part of an Order of Interbeing sangha? Or do you practice on your own?

We belong to Florida Community of Mindfulness... but participate by phone since we live far away. Sometimes I have gone to the Sangha in Asheville NC (Mountain Mindfulness) but where we're currently living, it is hard to get there. How about you? Oh, my husband is OI--he took the 14 trainings a few years ago. Do you have a sangha?

Yes I have been going to my local Triratna Buddhist Centre whenever I've been well enough for over 4 yrs now. I am not formally a member of the sangha as I chose not to become a 'mitra' as it would mean committing myself to the Triratna Buddhist Order when I do not want to. However, I have been going for so long that I consider myself part of the sangha now, and am sure they do to, even if I will not make the step of formally becoming part of it by becoming a mitra.

That pretty much expresses how I feel about it... I want to be there, but not making so many formal steps...
