A Trustworthy Friend | April 4, 2015
If you really want to become skillful
in your thoughts, words, and deeds, you need a trustworthy friend to
point out your blind spots. And because those spots are blindest around
your unskillful habits, the primary duty of a trustworthy friend is to
point out your faults—for only when you see your faults can you correct
them; only when you correct them are you benefiting from your friend’s
compassion in pointing them out.
- Thanissaro Bhikkhu, "The Power of Judgment"
