Looking for all of my suitable associates! ☸

[SeriousFun136]

I am looking for all beings who are suitable for me to associate with.

Ideally, I would eventually like for my entire circle of associates to be made up of all suitable associates only!

I have already conveyed similar interests within the context of the following four areas:

Education/studying:

Early Buddhism "Study Group"

Are there any study groups devoted to Early Buddhism? If not, would anyone be interested in forming an Early Buddhism study group to learn more about Dhamma-Vinaya together?

Marriage/dating:

Dating/Marriage within the Early Buddhist Community

I find it quite difficult to get along with and feel truly at ease with anyone, including family members, to the extent that they do not “try to study, practice, and live their lives in accordance with the Dhamma-Vinaya as suitably as they can.” This includes those who are born Buddhist, identify as Buddhist, interested in “cultural/sectarian” Buddhism, or even Buddhist in a sort of “faith-based” way (although this lattermost might not even be bad at all). This makes looking for suitable mate…

Profession/working:

"Right Livelihood" Idea

I am thinking to start a for-profit/not-for-profit hybrid organization at some point in the distant future. I would like for the sole foundation and head of the organization to be the “Dhamma-Vinaya.” Beyond this “non-negotiable,” I wish to remain open-minded regarding how the organization evolves over time, perhaps based on the interests and skills of those who join the organization. Would anyone be interested in discussing to assess whether joining this potential organization might be a sui…

Survival/living:

Good Friends/Kalyanamittas: A Personal Ad

I wish to find and form a close circle of kalyanamittas who share both a mutual interest in studying and practicing the Dhamma-Vinaya of the Buddha together as well as complementary (though not necessarily identical) ultimate aspirations (i.e. the overall direction and destination one subjectively wishes to end up in - to better gauge whether our paths would likely diverge anyway or converge eventually). The former (mutual interest in Dhamma-Vinaya) seems like “a common ground and foundation” w…

Goal: find/sustain suitable associations with all of my suitable associates.
Disassociate from beings to the extent that they are unsuitable for me to associate with.
Associate with all beings to the extent that they are suitable for me to associate with.

Definition: A suitable associate for me can be defined as someone with whom if I associate with them, the bad qualities in my own mind decreases and the good qualities in my own mind increases.
I.e. a being may be unsuitable for one being to associate, but suitable for another to associate with.

I prefer the foundation for all of my suitable associations to be Buddhism/Dhamma-Vinaya only!

If you are interested in talking and assessing whether and how it might be most suitable for us to sustain a suitable association with each other over the long-term, please feel (very) free to contact me via private message or email (Abhinav.Avi.Goswami@gmail.com).
