Dear First name / friend,
I find myself taking refuge in Kuan Yin again and again and again. She is a deep well-spring of love and mercy and invites me always to try my best to be more like Her. She shows me where my heart is tight or or sealed shut and holding back mercy. Like our Mother of Compassion Kuan Yin, may we, too, hear the cries of the world and not turn away. May we offer our hearts and hands overflowing with balm and succor. Below are ways that are helping me in this world of heartbreak. But also a world of doves cooing, blossoms blooming, the kindness of strangers, everyday mercies. Always Your Sister in Kuan Yin, Gwynne |

May Living Beings Help Each Other in Kindess “May those who go in dread have no more fear. Be captives and unchained and now set free. And may the weak receive their strength. May living beings help each other in kindness.” {from The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva} (art by Mayumi Oda) |

Experience Kuan Yin's Unending Sea of Blessings “Avalokitesvara is the Unending Sea of Blessings, and we ourselves are Avalokitesvara, and are ourselves the source of unending blessings.” {William Scott Wilson} Part I. Invoke Kuan Yin with this prayer from Sharron Rose… “Oh, gracious goddess, Shower me with your blessings. Fill me with your divine nectar Let it flow down from the heavens, suffusing my body in an endless river of celestial grace.” Look into a mirror and see the eyes of Kuan Yin gazing back at you, cherishing you. Cup your hands at your heart Invoke your stream of consciousness litany of blessings. Bless me. Bless me. Bless me. May I be bestowed with blessings. Feel yourself being drenched in blessings pouring down like a gentle warm rain into your body, your spirit, your energy, your life. Rest quietly. Part II. Breathe in Kuan Yin’s energy of mercy, succor, comfort and kindness and feel this life force flow in your own body. Open your heart, exhale and allow generous loving blessings to pour out of you like warm honey as you whisper… Kuan Yin of Inexhaustible Blessings, please turn your compassionate gaze upon {person, situation, place} Divine Mother, may {person, situation, place} be happy, protected and infinitely blessed in you holy presence. Bless people. Loved ones, strangers, enemies. Bless those who are alone, struggling, hungry, scared, escaping, grieving, angry, depressed or suffering in any way. |

One Good Deed “Don’t worry if you feel you can only do one tiny good thing in one small corner of the cosmos. Just be the Lady Buddha Kuan Yin in that one place.” This teaching (which I ever-so-slightly adapted) from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh is one I hold dear in my heart. Some inspirations in an ocean of possibilities… - Donate your time, money or resources. Blood at American Red Cross. The ACLU. Raices. Your local food bank. Banned books to your neighborhood little library.
- If you have the financial means, post bail for those kidnapped off the streets and protestors
- Take to the streets in national protests. Drop off water and snacks for protesters at ice facilities. Babysit for those who want to protest.
- Normalize mask wearing
- “The practice of love is the most powerful antidote to the politics of domination.” (bell hooks)
- Take easy yet profound actions at 5Calls.org and AmericansofConscious.com. File confidential ethics complaints @ ethics.house.gov
- Amplify, magnify good causes and activists on social media.
- Fill up with joy and beauty, hope and love!!!
