Cattāri Brahmavihārā

It is ridiculously early for me to be out on a Saturday morning but we have a convention to attend in. Atlantic City so that’s why I’m waiting for the Q at this strange pre-dusk hour. I knew I wouldn’t get the chance to post if I didn/t do it now as the day will be spent with my partner and employees so I will consider myself fortunate if I can remember the breath more than a handful of times. Moving on…

As I meditated this morning I was glad to find the mind slightly more workable than it had been for the last few days. Nonetheless, I still felt the need to freshen it so I began to reflect on my own generosity which lead on to the thought that I often gave dana to people on the street with my son, even giving him money to do so at times. What struck me was that I am grateeful to him for the opportunity to share generosity and virtue in a way that I never would have shared these things with anyone else. His total receptivity to the Dhamma is inspiring and invigorating to say the least. May we all grow in the Dhamma and the Discipline and may we find true and lasting happiness.
