Greetings of peace, Alistair and wonderful community members! I am looking for your recommendations for a beneficial Mindsprings video, post or suggested reading about the topic of suffering. I am an Imana and coordinator of a Mosque in Canada (near Toronto), and I have recently found that many of my beloved Mosque members are suffering from life challenges, loss, grief and heavy burdens. I am happy to respond, support and bring love to all of these members, but I find that at the end of the day, I feel overwhelmed with sadness and the weight of human suffering. Would you mind recommending to me a Mindspring video, post, or a reading on suffering with a Buddhist or mindfulness perspective that you have found helpful? Thank you, and blessings! xx

Hi Fran, I'll see if I can contact Sylvia for you. X
Hi Fran, as you know we work in the same field. There is much to say about your question as it is at the heart of our jobs. But as you specifically ask for recommendations from Alistairs classes, I found the Tonglen exercise we did on a thursday helpful and enlightening. Love from the Netherlands
❤️🙏
Hi Fran, I don't know if you are a member of the dhamma interactive group,here, but Sylvia, who runs it, posts some wonderful videos and I'm sure if you contact her, she will be able to supply you with the help you require.
All the best, hope it helps.❤️🙏
