Crawford Waterfalls, Okanagan valley, Kelowna, British Columbia.

As some of you may know, Michael Stone, a meditation teacher from Canada, left us yesterday after being hospitalised on Thursday.

Michael was an inspiration to me.  He integrated teachings of the Buddha, mindfulness and trauma. He was full of love.

Instead of a guided meditation, I would like to offer a silent meditation.  Three bells will sound at the end of the meditation.

Life and death are of supreme importance

Time passes swiftly and opportunity is lost

Let us awaken, awaken

Do not squander your life

May all beings be happy

May all beings be healthy

May all beings be safe and free from danger

May all beings be free from their ancient and twisted patterns

May all beings be free from every form of suffering
