Helping to make the world a more compassionate place
As the Buddha said,
"Looking after oneself, one looks after others.
Looking after others, one looks after oneself."(Attānaṃ rakkhanto paraṃ rakkhati.
Paraṃ rakkhanto attānaṃ rakkhati.)
Over the last 33 days of our 100 Days of Lovingkindness, I've written a blog post every day. Here's a list of all the posts I've written, offering teachings on developing lovingkindness and compassion.
I hope you're finding all this useful. If you haven't had a chance to read these posts yet, then of course they'll be there for you in the future.
Many people have said that they've benefited from this writing I'm doing, and it's even been suggested that I turn all these posts into a book. I feel a slight knot of anxiety in my belly whenever this is suggested, because I know how much work is involved in putting a book together, even when you have plenty of raw material to work with. But we'll see…
Anyway, did you know it's taking me close to half of my working hours every week to keep up these blog posts? I love doing it; I find it rewarding to reflect on my practice and to share it; I find it rewarding beyond words to hear that other people are benefitting from what I'm doing here. But every hour I'm writing for you is an hour I'm not earning anything. (We don't carry ads on Wildmind).
I need your help.
I've only been able to write so much recently because of the support of readers like you, because of the support of people who see the benefits of practicing, and who appreciate having spiritual sustenance. In fact, Wildmind wouldn't be here without their support.
So I'm appealing to you to make a donation to Wildmind to help support what I'm doing. One-time donations are great (click on the button labelled "donate"); recurring donations are even more helpful (use the drop-down menu to select an amount and then click on the button that says "subscribe").
In supporting Wildmind, not only will you be helping yourself, but you'll be helping to make the world a more compassionate place.
Thank you!
