Metta to all

[Jika]

During the last hour, two things have touched me deeply:
My mother got the happy news that the tumor she was operated on is benign.
An Airbus crashed over France, probably ever Person got killed, and a friend might be the pilot.

I said metta for all receiving different news than my mum.
I said metta for my friend, should he be involved, and his wife and kids.
I said metta to all involved, all are somebody's mother, somebody's father or friend.

Thank you for listening to a slow learner.
Metta to all.

Gassho,
Danny

That must be such a relief Danny. Yes much metta to all who are suffering.
An ex pupil told me his girlfriend committed suicide and he couldn't get there in time because he had to take a ferry ride. So much anguish everywhere!

I heard news from my friend, he was not on the Airbus, but is devastated about the catastrophe.
He has lost colleagues and friends on that flight.

I'll be sitting this night for the victims' friends and families, especially those who have lost children.

Let us sit for all sentient beings receiving good news today ...

Someone wrote to ask me why I would sit and offer Metta for those who have received good news.

In fact, "Dukkha" ("suffering" and “dissatisfaction” in a Buddhist sense) includes even happiness if we cling to the happy state, demand that it stay, are attached to good news, material successes, pleasures and the like, refusing the way life may otherwise go. That is also the “self” placing judgments and demands on life. The going with the flow, being just the flow flowing flowing, does not only include the sunny days, rejecting the rain.

Yes! I just recently received some really good news, and strangely I have to say it created a certain about of dukkha and anxiety in me. There are a whole host psychological reasons I am sure we could explore about that, however I really resonate with what you are saying here. But I am left sitting with now that I have the good news, how do I handle it. Relief and new pressures all at the same. All in flux and impermanence.

This is not to take away from the misfortunes and suffering from those mentioned in this thread, especially that terrible air accident.
