“What we need to do, I think if we really want to change our life and to meditate regularly, we need help. We need to find other like-minded people who are trying to do something similar and to get connected with them. And to help each other, support each other, and meet together regularly. So of course in Buddhism this brings up the idea of Sangha, or spiritual community. And I really think that if we really want to meditate each day and really to change the direction of our life in a better direction, we need to find this Sangha. Because my experience in talking to many people, if we try to do it on our own, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible.”
