Meditation is going good - about an hour per day now and I am reading Jack Kornfield's book on Buddhism and Meditation A PATH WTH HEART is one of my favorites. And I meditated with him one tme in Berkeley back in the 80's and especially now on social justice. Here is a quote - "Hatred never ceases by hatred but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law." The Buddha Much Metta, ron
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

A Little Meditation Miracle
I do have a little meditation miracle - actually "big" to me - I was meditating and deep pain appeared in the shoulder - arm region that was originally a sailing injury. I had a lot of chiropractic treatment last year. So I was disappointed it came back. However, I kept watching it repeating to myself - "This too shall pass." and thank goodness, it was mostly gone by end of meditation. It reappears occasionally, but not severe pain, like it was, and I take an aspirin or non-aspirin at most 2x per day and it goes away.
