Unconditional Friendship – October 22, 2017

At the Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles, you will hear relevant messages, by Rev. Pam MacGregor, that you can apply to everyday life.

Loving greetings and welcome to one of my favorite months of the year and it’s theme, Share the Love, Share the Light, Share the Wealth. It’s Friendship Month, and what a joy it is to gather with a community of spiritual friends who inspire, encourage and support one another on the path. The Buddha considered the sangha—the Sanskrit word for spiritual community—to be one of the Three Jewels of spiritual practice. How blessed we are to gather together each week to pray, learn, and celebrate. May this blessing fill your hearts as deeply as it does my own.

The topic on October 22, 2017, was Unconditional Friendship. We sometimes think that true friends don’t or shouldn’t encounter bumpy times on the road of friendship, that they don’t express criticism, don’t offer opinions unless asked. But where is the growth in that? Unconditional friendship is about walking together through challenges, offering forgiveness on its path for the missteps intentionally or unintentionally made. It’s about healing and transforming together.
