Last night we held an inspiring and uplifting meeting here at my house. People didn't leave until about 10:30; everyone was so happy to be hanging out together...we really are like a family. Every Wednesday we meet here, share stories, encourage each other and gain inspiration together. Last night, one of our newest youth members (he's in his early 20's) described his experience of chanting. He said he used to worry constantly and now he doesn't worry at all anymore. He takes things as they come and keeps chanting. he knows everything is going to turn out fine. You know, some people never, ever get to that stage in life. It's called Peace of Mind! Go Kris! He really knows the heart of this practice: faith, practice and study. We chant, we study and we teach others, and we introduce others...that's how you get benefit in Buddhism. You become the best version of yourself...a true Boddhisatva!
