Using The
Mother As A Model In Meditation
I feel that using the mother as a model in meditation fascinating because one
can
Personalize their own experience by visualizing his/her own mother and in
effect,
associate inner emotion & raw compassion for the one who created and
protected them.
I also thought that the realization of immense inapplicable rebirths, that
everyone has
been everyone’s mother in a sense, is a powerful tool towards introducing
compassion for
all beings. Just understanding the respectful nature of this compassion in
general is a
basic fundamental towards what the second Dally Lama, Gendun
Gyatso calls ‘giving
and taking’.
