So grateful for your deep insights,encouragement and reminders from the teachings of how to keep our innate sense of dignity,awe and respect during these times.
Thank you...especially for no glib answers! It appears that the solutions, if they exist, will be found in more study of the dharma. I ordered the book you suggested, and am comforted by knowing that people like yourself are also struggling (sorry-misery DOES love company). Honestly, though: the OHP is a balm; knowing that like-minded seekers are trying to find a way through this horror with humanity and compassion helps tremendously.
Thank you Susan. Good things to remember. It's true, hard to take a compassionate attitude toward those who cause so much suffering. For me, planting the seeds of possible good future things is helping me stay sane, i.e.: taking actions like calling reps, going to meetings, going to protests, all peaceful and heartfelt.
Thank you Susan! I have similar reactions and an almost identical list. My modest and still quite new practice, with your guidance and encouragement, plus OHP, most certainly helps me navigate it all. I like this new Substack format very much. I’m very grateful for all you share!
