I am relying on Alistair's session recordings as I'm unable to join in person at the moment. It might be my iffy device but, when I've played the recordings, I can't hear the questions. Alistair's voice is loud and clear,as usual. Is it just me? ❤️🙏
Just to say I hope you are all coping and staying safe in the winds and bad weather conditions that I hear you are experiencing in the UK.
Take care everyone and see you all on Tuesday. Love Moira x
It’s such a world of extremes , l read Alistair’s comments about your Cornwall’s dreadfully cold weather & Mother Nature ….. well we certainly are experiencing her having a bit to say in Australia with a lot of the state of Victoria with bushfires that mere mortals can’t contain .
We're going to start our exploration of Buddhist notions of love and compassion tomorrow with an early text from the Pali Canon. This is the Buddha's advice to practitioners: how should you be in the world?
It's a beautiful text, translated by the monks and nuns of Amaravati, and I've heard it chanted many times. It's worth memorising.
Karaniya Metta Sutta: The Buddha's Words on Loving-Kindness
translated from the Pali by
The Amaravati Sangha
Thank you, Alastair. It's so easy, at least for me right now, to start to shift from descriptive text to incorrect speech in response to world events. This text is much-needed.
Dear Mindspringers, my wish for you and all beings is that we co-exist in peace, respect, love and compassion. Warm hugs!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, Fran. A wonderful wish for a better world, and it begins on such a small level- us! That’s the hard part for me, oftentimes. Take care, Geneva 🙏🏼
