Show Notes

Today's Podcast "Compassionate Koans – The Heart of the Matter does in fact take us to the heart of the matter! An excellent, personal set of reflections by Vijayamala on the relationship between our longing and our pain. The Buddhist tradition posits compassion as the best response, but it isn't always clear how that works. No answers here – but a few leads and some thoughtful tales from life and from a longstanding practice of meditation.
