#15 Building and Sustaining The Beloved Community: Plum Village has existed for four decades - Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino take this episode to consider the streams that converge to make it what it is. Also contemplated are communities of two and other friendships we have in our lives, all with their joys and challenges. In the guided meditation that ends this episode, Brother Phap Huu invites us to find appreciation for that in ourselves:
"Breathing in, I'm aware of friends on the path; breathing out, I allow myself to be grateful".
