Lovely, Paul! May our Buddhist practice and our lives be full of kindness and love!
I really liked this. What a mindful way to start out each day. But, I have a question: if we never had any difficulties, how would any of us grow? Even trees grow stronger when they have to resist strong winds, is that true?
Hi Diane,
I don't mean to be trite here but what person has no problems? The fact of our lives is that they are a problem. So, with this in mind, we have this practice called Loving Kindness Meditation.
