Just a reminder that I facilitate Metta Meditation the first Sunday of each month. The world needs it, always, and especially now. We have a beautiful community that has infinite capacity. It’s on zoom and you can register through the Eventbrite link in my bio. No meditation experience is required. May all beings be free 💗

Meditation is powerful. Studies have shown that meditation practiced in community magnifies that power. Metta Meditation cultivates love and compassion, SO, let’s magnify love and compassion. 💗 We will practice the first Sunday of the month at 9am EST, in community, online. The first offering is November 5th. Registration is through Eventbrite and this offering is donation based. Please share widely!

“This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard and loving work.”

From “The Five Contemplations Before Eating”

In Plum Village communities around the world, we practice not only to be mindful of the food, but also of our spiritual friends sitting with us. Sharing a meal together is not just to sustain our bodies and celebrate life’s wonders, but also to experience freedom, joy, and the happiness of sisterhood, brotherhood, and siblinghood, during the whole time of eating.

Here are all of the Five Contemplations Before Eating:

This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard and loving work.

May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive this food.

May we recognize and transform unwholesome mental formations, especially our greed and learn to eat with moderation.

May we keep our compassion alive by eating in such a way that reduces the suffering of living beings, stops contributing to climate change, and heals and preserves our precious planet.

We accept this food so that we may nurture our brotherhood and sisterhood, build our Sangha, and nourish our ideal of serving all living beings.

“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
Margery Williams - The Velveteen Rabbit, 1923.
