Seven Mantras of Love Part 2 [5.8.24]

We were grateful this week to have David Viafora and Jessie Raye from Greatwoods Zen Retreat Center guest lead again this week. Unfortunately we were not able to record their first visit, but this week’s sharing works fine as a stand alone. They shared from Thich Nhat Hanh’s teaching called the Seven Mantras of Love. These are: Darling, I am here for you. Darling, I know you are there and it makes me happy. Darling, I know you suffer. Darling, I suffer, please help. This is a Happy Moment. Darling, you are partly right. Darling, how may I best love you? Here is also a link to Thich Nhat Hanh sharing about six of these: https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/the-six-mantras Jessie’s poem can be found here:  When You Are Old Enough (Meditation: 00:00-25.15, Talk 25.20-End)
