Today's Daily Dharma: Not a Private Journey

Not a Private Journey
The way 'spirituality' is often used suggests that we exist solely as a collection of individuals, not as members of a religious community, and that religious life is merely a private journey. It is the religious expression of the ideology of free-market economics and of the radical 'disencumbered' individualism that idolizes the choice-making individual as the prime reality in the world.
 
- Robert Bellah, "The Future of Religion"
