Finding the balance of independence and healthy dependence. Ultimately the dharma is something that we embody, that we experience directly, and in understanding the teachings and how to apply them we find independence. Once finding independence we may no longer need guidance, but we still need each other, so we work to find the balance of independence and health dependence. We come to the Sangha looking for like-minded people to develop a healthy dependence with on the path to complete independence.
