Today my wife is sick with covid. I would like for her to be able to listen to Brian Conroy’s Dharma stories so I will do a good deed. My good deed today is that I will recite the Mani Mantra 500 times. Also I will recite Amitabas name and wisper it into the ears of my students who I will be teaching how to swim at the Y. Also I will try my best to be patient and take care of my wife without being selfish. May all beings have the good fortune to be able to listen to Dharma Stories.

Featured Good Karma Music Story from Z
This week’s story is from Z in San Francisco, CA, who made vegan lentil soup for colleagues to enjoy together. “On a chilly rainy day here, I just felt like cooking lentil vegetable soup for the six of us in an office apartment. They are my former colleagues and their spouses, and still good friends a year after I left the company. It was a simple, wholesome vegan meal, and we sat around a warm table while the Californian rain poured outside. Family-style. I was very happy during the cooking, meal, and clean-up, as old friends came together to ‘break bread together.’ So simple, so good! Thank you for the…
