Then, as many are dealing with a range of feelings during the Coronavirus pandemic, I offer a talk on Love and Anger in the Time of Corona.

I hope you find it helpful, and you are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations – open to everyone![/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1585341935427{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1585341871000{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

Practicing Dāna: Cultivating Generosity

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1584820360729{margin-top: 65px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”]These teachings are offered freely, at no charge. And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1584459266594{margin-top: 15px !important;}”]

People offer attention, encouragement, and patience many times a day. Sometimes we withhold when it would be so easy, actually, to listen quietly for another minute or to offer a word of appreciation or simply a look that says, “I’m with you.” Try being a little more generous for a day and see what happens.
