Dear Friend

There are deep questions that emerge from our heart and soul and they aren't answered or satisfied by however much we own, accumulate, or achieve. These are the questions that demand a quest for profound meaning and wisdom. Why am I alive? What is the meaning and purpose of my life? Where am I headed?

Even while we fulfill our dharma, our duties to our loved ones, our community and those in need, these questions deepen our engagement and fulfillment of our dharma.

Blessings on your quest!

What If?

What if you took birth
to know radical freedom
Instead of constantly chafing
against the bonds of limitation?

What if you took birth
to know radical freedom
from self-centered wants and needs,
To be carried by cascades of love
along a river of ecstasy
with nothing to do but
shout to the parched, thirsty souls
standing on the river banks
"Jump! Jump in! Jump in!
You can be free of suffering!"

What if you took birth
to know radical freedom and boundless love
instead of wandering lost in the desert
maze of anger and fear?

What if you took birth
to know radical freedom
Empowered to unfailingly choose
the Way of compassion,
kindness and agap�?

What if you took birth
to know radical freedom
As taught by one fully awake -
a Buddha,
One who has gone beyond -
a tathagata,
A Christ
who taught the Way -
Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you,
Who taught the sutras of selflessness,
compassion, kindness and boundless,
joyous Love,
Who awakens you to why you took birth -
To rejoice every moment
bathing in the sea of unconditional love,
To selflessly serve,
buoyed by uplifting currents
in the ocean of delight!

Having left behind
the conditioned mind,
Knowing radical freedom,
You are Buddha
You are Christ
You are Karuna
You are Kwan Yin
Gat�, gat�, paragat�, parasamgat�, bodhi swaha!

Kalidas


May we serve the One with all the love and joy we are capable of!

Thank you all for your notes of appreciation for our newsletter. It's great to hear from you!

Everyone has the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an "Anam Cara." By embodying that ideal we may serve to help others to find love and compassion within themselves and the world.

Our highest nature is always manifest in relationship - to all other beings, to the environment, in relation to our own body and mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our relationships allows us to learn where the light shines and where it needs to shine more. The ideal of Anam Cara is to continuously endeavor to expand the depth and the inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring into every relationship, every moment, every breath.

If you have any suggestions, comments or sharings, for our newsletter please don't hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to respond.

The Anam Cara Meditation Foundation is a 501 (C) 3, non-profit educational organization dedicated to teaching meditative practices. Our non- denominational programs are open to all.
