HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! Today as we honor and celebrate mothers we’ll also look deeply into the Heart of Compassion that is Buddhism. Just as skillful mothers offer us compassion, guidance, affection and boundaries, Buddhism teaches the value of practicing these in our own lives. Living in balance and observing ourselves and others with honesty and loving compassion opens the heart to our common humanity.

Today we love mothers, we love ourselves, and we step back from judgment to see others with eyes of kindness and compassion.
