Often I’ve heard a story or read a text but the source eludes me. My best guess of where it came from is
- A book or a talk by Sangharakshita, founder of Triratna Buddhist Community. It’s the sangha I belong to.
- A book or talk by another teacher in Triratna
- Free Buddhist Audio, Triratna again
- Another Buddhist teacher I like, Jack Kornfield, Daniel Ingram or Rob Burbea would be good guesses. Generally anyone in the Insight Meditation Society I like
- Something someone once said to me at a Buddhist Centre or on retreat
- Something, someone once said to me at some point in some place.
If I remember then I’ll pop in the reference. In the very likely situation that I never remember then I guess it will have to remain gloriously ambiguous.
