Send us Fan Mail Mitzvahs are not good deeds, they are channels through which we can receive divine light, clarity, wisdom and the joy and well being we crave.  This mitzvah, Give Everyone The Benefit of The Doubt, is a daily practice that we can engage in with all relationships. It explores a new way of being with a person, especially someone who is difficult or upsetting. As we give them the benefit of the doubt, we change the way we perceive and react to others. It helps us let go of taking their behavior personally and suffer as a result. Instead we see more deeply into who they are and what they are experiencing, and often can feel compassion and respond differently as well. Needless to say, as we see others changes the way they see them themselves, and also the way in which they respond to us. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail LEARNING HOW TO SAY HELLO  Our usual way is usually to resist what comes to us in life, fight it, change it, try to run away from it. Zen practice  does the opposite...we learn how to say hello. We sit still, walk mindfully, welcome whatever comes into our lives, truly experience it. We are making room for everything to come as it is, have space to grow, alter, transform, even illuminate us. It is not what comes that is so difficult, but the way we receive, or refuse to receive it, and then to let it go.  In this practice we simply  give life the room to be as it is. And, in doing so, we  too, have the room to be who we are, and transform, as well. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail It's easy to become afraid of all the storms that life presents. Especially when they're  announced with terror and catastrophic expectations.  All kinds of storms appear these days in every area of our lives, weather, health, politics, work and just daily living. Let's not agree with these announcements. Let's not see the every changing face of life as one storm after the next..  Instead, let us learn to see the beauty, power and healing each so called storm contains... Let us learn to play with it. A few snowflakes are filled with delight, and so are all happenings. As we receive life's events in a joyous, playful and grateful manner, it will affect them as well...  When we feel pleasure and love for a lion rolling along the road, the lion calms and quiets, responds to what is going on. We are not victims of any storm, but the smile in the center of it. Support the show
