Valerie Kaur: “The heart is a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.”
Mother Teresa says that if we look at all that we have to do, at the mass of it all, we will be overwhelmed and never act. Instead, “Begin With The One,” she advises. Find the one thing, the one step, the one persons, and focus your energy there.
Valerie Kaur “In See No Stranger” says “The heart is a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.” Read more from Valerie Kaur here.
So what will you focus on? How will you use your heart? Here’s what I’ve been up to.
I had some help from friends. Details to come.
Fiber artist Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo is caretaker of a tradition.
One of the only westerners trained in the rare Buddhist art of silk applique thangkas, she is passionate about the preservation and evolution of this Tibetan cultural tradition. His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave his blessings to Leslie’s work and encouraged her to make images that speak to the spiritual aspirations of people across religions and cultures.
Leslie’s work is simultaneously traditional and contemporary, and her fascinating story is the subject of the acclaimed documentary film, Creating Buddhas: the Making and Meaning of Fabric Thangkas. Leslie mentors a select group of students around the world through her Stitching Buddhas Virtual Apprentice Program, and her Weekly Wake-ups provide a thread of inspiration to set your week on the path to awakening.
