THE LAND OF SPIRIT ROCK MEDITATION CENTER

THE LAND OF SPIRIT ROCK MEDITATION CENTER

We invite you all from all walks of life

To our land of mindfulness, “This is my land, this is your land.”

Namaste. “I bow to the Buddha's nature within you.”

To sit with us.

Let's begin with an act of kindness.

The act of non-harm, take what is being offered,

integrity, communication and purification.

Please come, just sit

Please let me know your struggle, worries, loneliness, disappointment, suffering, despair...

Mine is no less.

Please share with me your joy, loving-kindness, aspiration, inspiration, appreciation, gratitude, excitement...

Mine is no more.

Just sit still, pay attention, and breathe.

Meanwhile the turkeys, the deers, the bobcats still roam this land.

Meanwhile the lizards still sunbathe.

Meanwhile the insects still call their desire.

Meanwhile the birds still sing.

Meanwhile the quails protect their young.

Meanwhile the yogis are practicing and non-practicing.

And the fog still comes and goes,

As does the sun and its moon.

Let's breathe and cultivate
Mindfulness, Gratitude,
Compassion (Karuna), Loving-Kindness (Metta), Sympathetic Joy (Mudita) and Equanimity (Upekkha).
