23rd Psalm

Her meditation group was reading from Pay Attention, for Goodness’ Sake: The Buddhist Path of Kindness, by Sylvia Boorstein. Sylvia’s detailed description of doing “metta” following the formal meditation sitting was powerful. One member of the group said, “Let’s not talk about it, let’s do it!”

Healing of a Heart

She was born with a congenital heart defect—they were soon to realize it was the same one that had claimed the life of her older brother. Her heart muscle was so undeveloped it took more energy for her to suck than she gained from eating, so she was failing to thrive. The medical staff did […]
