Practising with a Sangha
| The Sangha is a vital element in the practice of Mindfulness. To quote Thich Nhat Hanh: |
| "Sangha building is crucial. If you are without a sangha you lose your practice very soon. In our tradition we say that without the Sangha you are like a tiger that has left his mountain and gone to the lowlands - he will be caught and killed by humans. If you practise without a Sangha you are abandoning your practice" |
| If you are surrounded by Sangha, you have the chance to sit together, to learn together, and you won't lose your practice. The following is a list of regional contacts around the |
