Description

The Tibetan Buddhist practice of the Mother Meditation is one of many that’s designed to help us build our capacity for Compassion, & Love The Tibetan Buddhist practice of the Mother Meditation is one of many that’s designed to help us build our capacity for compassion. To do this mindfulness practice, you do not have to be Buddhist, nor Tibetan. All of us can benefit from practices geared towards opening our hearts. Why should we increase our capacity for compassion? All of our happiness comes not from worrying about me and mine, but from caring for others. When we place ourselves first, we reinforce the mistaken notion that we are separate from others, and that happiness is limited. By placing care for others first, we remember that all beings are connected, and that contentment, love and happiness are available in abundance. The more we share, the more we have to give. In particular, the Mother Meditation asks us to view each being in the world as someone who once gave us infinite love and care. We strive to repay their kindness by being kind in turn. If each of us were to apply the principle of the Mother Meditation to our daily lives, we would live in a world where everyone was kind, and everyone respected each other. Thus, we begin to see how our increasing own personal capacity for compassion can create a more compassionate world. The Mother Meditation begins with the premise that all beings everywhere have at one point been our mother. If you do not believe in past or future lives, you can simply imagine that this is the case for the purpose of the exercise. Traditionally, Tibetan Buddhists believe in infinite past lives, with no beginning. Thus logically, if we have been infinite beings in the past, with infinite mothers, it only makes sense that those we meet in this life have at one point been our mother. As our mother, all beings at one point cared for us and ensured our survival. Our mothers devoted their bodies to our development and care, they fed us and clothed us and protected us from harm. They loved us. Even if we have a challenging relationship with mothers, we must concede that without her care in our earliest days of existence, we wouldn’t have survived. We recognize that all beings, all of whom have been our mother, only want the same things we do. They want to be happy, and they want to be free from their pain. We begin to develop a deep desire to repay our mothers’ kindness by growing our own capacity for compassion, and by leading them from their pain to happiness. We make a promise to treat all beings with the love our mothers deserve. What would it be like if we walked around daily with deep gratitude and compassion for all beings, as if they were our mothers?
