This response has helped me clarify for myself
ThanksNot so sure I am responding or replying correctly
Hi, I am Melissa from St Simon’s Island, Ga. I have been a member of the Open Heart Project for about 4 years. I love being able to delve deeper into the Buddhist path with Susan and the online Sangha. I took refuge vows and then took the class last year. I am happy to keep diving deeper into the practice. Thank you so much Susan!
I resonated with vajra/ karma…
and related to the comments from Brenda. I love the early morning and sunrise looking east and listening to nature as it welcomes me to new life
Could not figure out the picture upload
I too recently retired. This class has been very helpful 🙏🧘🏻♀️🐾Have not been able to wrap my head around it at all
Keep reading different articles and watching utube videos of it being chantedI have two small alters One upstairs and one downstairs both have a candle and picture of open heart project and statues of Buddha and pieces of wood and sea shells. Nature is part of lineage along with Buddha Susan and Tibetan prayer flags and pictures of sunrise.
One of the Buddhist statues is Yakushi Nyorai… work in process I tend to enjoy “little” alters in each main room and change it up as I learn more🙏Large current situation is physical and early retirement how I feel changes numerous times during the day. The first three truths open up the lenses on my view and somehow “lightens” the weight. Right view and right speech… along with meditation and the suggestions on the offerings blessings and dedication of merit continue to open up my perceptions.
Still learning to navigate the forum not sure how to share with two people😜
Hi I am Melissa from St Simons Island Georgia. I am very happy to be able to delve into the practice with this class. I have been a part of the OpenHeart Project since 2021 and have taken the vow. I feel I know less the more I practice.
I had a wonderful therapist in the early 2000’s who introduced me to Buddhism as I had been searching for anything that made sense in the way of spiritual anything!
Susan is amazing and I am honored to call her Teacher🙏💐
