In
meditation practice it is sometimes assumed one must bear the suffering of
others. Jesus on the cross and burning monks images come to mind. By dying, they
symbolize the ultimate expression of compassion. I think some people, me
included, at times feel this as a great responsibility. Opening yourself to
another’s dukkha can be challenging. This
means it is even more important that you learn to enjoy yourself for others’
sake! If you cannot appreciate the world around you, how can you help others
appreciate the world around them?
Question: How do I best take care of
myself?

I often end
meditation with a prayer –

myself.
