This is a day to remember what compassion can bring us.  Beginning with compassion for ourselves, we can radiate out in never-ending circles compassion for all beings.

Only if we begin with compassion for ourselves.

I like to listen to the chanting first with my eyes closed then the second time letting the images penetrate. I don’t know if it helps me act with more compassion. It does help me stop for 7 minutes and 20 seconds before I re-engage.

Thank you for practising,
