Our FBA Dharmabyte today is titled and#8220;A Society Inspired by Bodhicittaand#8221; by Sangharakshita. We hear of Queen Vaydevi and the series of sixteen meditations as illustration to create a spiritual community without the use of the and#8216;power modeand#8217; in interacting with each other. This contrasts strongly with ordinary and#8216;groupsand#8217;, where relationships are often based on authority, sometimes the authority of a personal God.

From the talk Authority and the Individual in the New Society, 1979.
