Wikipedia definition
2. Kalyāṇa-mittatā​Kalyāṇa-mittatā is a Buddhist concept of "spiritual friendship" within Buddhist community life, applicable to both monastic and householder relationships. One involved in such a relationship is known as a "good friend," "virtuous friend," "noble friend" or "admirable friend" (kalyāṇa-mitta, -mitra). Since early Buddhist history, these relationships have involved spiritual teacher-student dyads as well as communal peer groups.
