"If many people live together, they can still practice comfortably if their views are in harmony. But even two or three would have difficulty if their views were not harmonious. When we humble ourselves and let go of our views, even if there are many of us, we come together. ... Even though our views may differ, if we practice correctly there will be no friction. Just like all the rivers and streams, which flow to the sea – once they enter the sea they all have the same taste and colour. It is the same with people. When they enter the stream of Dhamma, it is the one Dhamma.
"But the thinking, which causes all the disputes and conflict, is ditthimāna. Therefore the Buddha taught us to let go of views. Don’t allow māna to cling to those views beyond their relevance."
