Here is a talk from the San Rafael Meditation group with Rick Hanson, Ph.D. It focuses on cultivating personal strengths into happiness by training yourself to do good that lasts, and brings happiness, peace, and a mind of boundless love.
And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
These teachings are offered freely.
