What the Buddha Taught About Friendship | Kate Johnson

Friendship was important to the Buddha. In fact, there's a whole passage in the Buddhist scriptures, or suttas, about friendship, with seven strategies for friendship, some of which we will discuss in this episode, with Kate Johnson.

Kate has been meditating for over twenty years and is a graduate of Spirit Rock's four-year teacher training program. She is the author of a new book that has drawn praise from people like Lama Rod Owens, Jack Kornfield, and Ruth King. The book is called Radical Friendship: Seven Ways to Love Yourself and Find Your People in an Unjust World. In the book, and in this conversation, Kate draws on an ancient Buddhist text known as the Mitta Sutta to offer actionable strategies for realness, generosity, and other key ingredients for friendship.

Radical Friendship is available on Bookshop, Indiebound, Barnes and Noble or Amazon
