*Charlie Day invited the Des Moines Meditation and Mindfulness Group to participate in this Lovingkindness and Compassion Meditation at its weekly meeting following the tragic shooting in Tucson, AR, January 8, 2011. Please feel free to use and share this meditation. As with any lovingkindness and compassion meditation, you may modify it by using any preferred words or phrases.
In Buddhism the primary purpose of these meditations is to strengthen our own innate capacity to experience lovingkindness and compassion for ourselves and for everyone else, including those we judge to be enemies, remembering that those who cause suffering would probably not do so if they themselves were free of suffering.
