A Message from Sifu Jenny Lamb

[ShaktiMama]

from one of my teachers, Sifu Jenny Lamb:

 

 

 

At this moment in time, what we saw happen in Japan should be a mirror to all of us. How fragile our lives are. No matter how much you possess, how powerful you are or how famous you want to be, everything can be destroyed in the wink of an eye. A catastrophe can happen to anyone at any time. As an individual, we should not let the grief or fear dominate us, but should let it help to liberate us from greed, hatred and delusion. We should learn from the phenomena of nature to restore our spirits with compassion and loving kindness, to share every moment we have with others, whether they are human beings or a life of another kind. We should work together to protect our planet with love and wisdom, and learn to share and live together in peace. May this disaster awaken a resolution to be a better person living in the world and take on our duty to make a great contribution to humanity! May those who lost their lives be reborn into a better world! May purifying our hearts be our primary practice, to illuminate our world!

Sounds like good advice to me. In other words, we should all cultivate dao.
