This book also introduced me to the concept of the baby Buddha, and it‘s just beyond adorable. It‘s an internet rabbit hole of adorableness!

Folks, I am TIRED! For whatever reason, exacerbated by lack of sleep, I‘m feeling the weight of it all today. Your joys help! 🩵
pickBook isn‘t yet in our system: The Rain People by Jin Bo, Yi Yusun (illustrator)
“As a boy sits alone watching spring's first rainfall, he sees that the drops are turning into tiny people, who invite him to join them.”
Lovely book! I‘m not an art expert but I think the art is watercolor. The short of it is the boy joins the Rain People to enter the River of Sorrow and when they do life is restored to the land. This could be from Chinese folklore.

pickOne might think I‘m a Buddhist by how often I read/listen to Buddhist texts and related topics. I‘m not. But I find a lot about Buddhism lines up with my personal philosophies. Or, at least, how I imagine my personal philosophies.
Meditation in Action is very accessible. I was able to follow along while working, and while not everything is new to me here, Trungpa is able to frame it in a way that makes it seem new. Def recommend for beginners.
pickBrief and yet so impactful! Listening to the audio version twice has given me so much to think about in regards to love, anger, and kindness to myself.
Happy Birthday to the Dalai Lama!
