A Gift of Dharma for 3.24.10

Today’s quote is from my friend Ravenna Michalsen, a dharma musician and Shambhala Buddhist teacher whom I interviewed for this blog and profiled for the Spring 2009 issue of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review.  This is it–the lyrics for her song “May My Mind Turn to Others”:

May my mind turn to others
May I not think just of myself

May my mind turn to others
May I not think just of myself

But when I do
May I hold my heart
In tenderness

But when I do
May I hold my heart
With both hands

Just like I hope to hold
All sentient beings
