What moves you towards spiritual practice? We are stirred and moved and inspired to practice through various experiences that goes on within our own body-mind process and by phoenomena that goes on in the world around us. Listen to stories of people being stirred to a sense of samvega-spiritual urgency from the time of the Buddha, right up to stories from our time-now.
When the heart/mind is free from the narrowness of self-clinging, the natural response to beings and the world is that of metta/karuna: friendliness & compassion
Gratitude and generosity are ways of uplifting the mind. Gratitude brings a deep appreciation for blessings of our lives. Generosity an opening of the heart that cares for others.
