Sylvia Boorstein talks about What Makes Life Precious. She starts with a story about what’s in the news and highlights difficult times as part of the Buddha’s teachings.
A note from Sean
If we really take in that each breath could be our last, every new breath is almost like a second life. I could have died on the last breath. I could have died a hundred breaths ago. And I’m here.
Try this today. At a moment you would normally rush through, take one breath and notice that it is new. Do this three times today. You have never had this one before. Feel your ribs widen and settle.
Keep going: This Precious Human Life and Gratitude for Breath, Body and Mind.
Thoughts about death can be heavy. If you have lost someone, or you are frightened about your health, go gently. Stay with the breath alone and leave the rest. Stop when you need to.
