I remember when I first arrived at my teacher Ajahn Chah’s monastery, he looked at me and said, “I hope you’re not afraid of suffering.” I replied, “What do you mean? I came here to meditate and find inner peace and happiness.” He explained, “There are two kinds of suffering—the suffering we run from because we are unwilling to face the truth of life, and the suffering that comes when we’re willing to stop running from the sorrows and difficulties of the world. The second kind of suffering will lead you to freedom.” (excerpt "Bringing Home the Dharma")

May you have the strength and courage not only to face your suffering, but to also embrace the opportunities for love, laughter and that are near you every day.

May your new year be filled with blessings and joy, caring and compassion for yourself and the world, and love.

A very Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother whose influence on me and consistent support is infinite, selfless and precious. I am so grateful for this extraordinary woman whose giving bank account is overflowing and whose mystical life is a role model for surviving our troubled world. To all those she has given to over the years, I know too many to possibly count - my mother has served with her intuitive work for 40 years full-time. She gives and gives helping many on the brink and rarely gives to herself. She cannot retire but that’s okay because this work feeds her soul and is vital to her own well-being. I wish I could gather up all
the thanks from all the people she has helped but I cannot. She doesn’t keep records 😉 so if you have been helped by her and appreciate her - let this post be a way to express it. Happy Birthday Ambika!!! 💝💝💝
