Online Resources and Compassion Practice
Compassion Intention for Caregivers, Sharon Salzberg
May I find the inner resources to be able to give to others and receive myself.
May I offer love, knowing I can’t control the course of life, suffering or death.
I care about your pain, yet cannot control it.
May I see you as I wish to be seen, as big as life itself,
so much more than your need or pain.
