Thank you all so much for joining us yesterday for the final Global Group Meditation with Tara. It was a wonderful and deep experience that reached the heart of Mother Earth. It is perfect that today is Mother’s Day in Thailand. We celebrate our Mother Earth and our own mother and give thanks to the opportunity they gave us to have this life and be born on Earth. Without our mother we would not be here.
Mother’s Day is one of the most important holidays in Thailand. Buddha told his students that above even God or Master we honor our mother. So the Thai people cherish their mother and once a year the whole family gathers around their mother and gives her love. No matter what she has done good or bad, this is the time to express our gratitude for giving us life and caring for us as a child.
No matter what the appearance on the outside, the mother’s heart is always with us. We often forget and complain that she is not good enough or did such and such. But in the end she is not only the cause of our birth, but also the first teacher that we had in this life. It was our mother that showed us the lessons that we are to learn in this life and started us on our path to perfect our self in Enlightenment. We had many choices for who would be our mother before we came into this life. We chose her for the gifts and the challenges she would give us that would help us to learn. Her job was not always easy and often she didn’t know what to do. On this day we say thank you and give her our love and support.
When you meditate today, place your mother in your heart and send her light and love. She deserves this blessing and it will bring more harmony and support to our life and the life of our family. Thank you Mom! I wouldn’t be here and wouldn’t have found my path to learn meditation without you. Bless you!
