A Different (More Compassionate) Space




I made the mistake today, after a several day break, of going to our national broadcaster's web site. 

It made me sad.

I should know better. The reason I quit visiting there is because the news is never good, and the comments on the bad news are even worse.

I needed an antidote, and fast. 

Suburbs of Goa is an internet radio station I listen to when I need a calming influence.

Once there, I listened to "A Different Space" by Bob Holroyd. 

I invite you to take a listen above, and enjoy a space which is very different from anything any mainstream news has to offer.


"A Different Space" by Bob Holroyd

 

Buddha of compassion All Buddhas of the past, present and future Bodhisattvas, an ocean of measureless qualities Please hear my anguished words of truth Karma, in an ocean of joy Let the might of your compassion arise to bring a quick end, to the flowing stream of the blood and tears. They are drunk with demonic delusions What is right and what is wrong Our most cherished and long felt desire.


This beautiful song made me feel better about everything.

Rather than denounce worldly things entirely, or try to bang my head against the wall and think that I can change them, I will sit back, view the world dispassionately, and laugh joyfully along with it all.

We hope you are well.

Please know that we love you, regardless of who you are, how you think, or what your status is.

May we laugh and enjoy life together.
