Today we bring you yet another classic FBA Dharmabyte and#8220;Consciousness: Individual and Collectiveand#8221; by Sangharakshita from the 1983 talk and#8220;The Bodhisattva Principleand#8220;. Collective consciousness is the closest description of what we have come to call the spiritual community.
