Cultivating Compassion in and Interfaith World: 99 Meditations to
Embrace the Beloved is an invitation to deepen into relationship
with the Beloved through cultivating compassion the Beloved that is
personal, inter-personal, and trans-personal, in all that exists.
While compassion plays an important role in all religions, this
book focuses on three faith traditions Sufism, Christianity, and
Buddhism. Part One speaks to what these teachings say about
compassion, and includes personal experiences that have resulted
from my commitment to Sufi, Christian, and Buddhist contemplative
practices. Part Two offers ninety-nine meditations focused on a
particular attribute of the Beloved. Each is comprised of verses
from the book of Psalms, a prayer for support, a compassion Metta
meditation, and a question for reflection. An excerpt from the book
about the ninety-nine meditations: For me, the Psalms are a call to
and a response from a compassionate God. The Psalm verses flow back
and forth between the longing for the relief of suffering and the
experience of that relief from the Beloved. In this prayerful
engagement, we are able to deepen into our understanding of what it
means to be human. An intimacy emerges with the Beloved, a further
discovery of that divine essence which connects us to ourselves, to
each other, and to all. The compassion meditations follow the
format of the Buddhist Metta Loving-kindness practice. I have found
this ritual to align my heart, mind, and soul into a unified,
beneficent force. I am able to cultivate the resources required to
energetically hold others and me in a state of wellbeing. This
leads me to an actively engaged connection with the Beloved in all.
It encourages a dynamic commitment to the world. I invite you to
work with these contemplative practices to cultivate compassion for
yourself and others.
