The Buddha taught that we should be very selective about our friendships advising us to associate with 'equals' or those who are superior (superior persons can lift us up and motivate us to continue spiritual growth).

An important spiritual teaching is this statement: the higher your vibe, the smaller your tribe. That means those who truly vibrate at higher levels are very cautious, conservative with whom they spend their time. So, I was struck by this information about Oprah Winfrey TV host, author and billionaire philanthropist who revealed that she only really has three people in her life that she counts as a 'close' friend: broadcaster Gayle King, journalist and activist Maria Shriver, and personal trainer Bob Greene.
