Service

Service is something that some people run to and some run away from. It's an interesting paradox, because it takes effort, it takes initiative and often goes unnoticed.

I remember joining "the service" aka "the army" and it was a brutal experience. Fortunately for me, we were at peace and all I had to do was put up with drill sargents screaming, enormous physical pressure and an aggressive bunch of peers.

Service was redefined for me when I did my first vippassana meditation. There were dozens of "old students" volunteering their time in order to support the efforts of the present meditators.

This video was a gentle reminder of how much more service we can all do...
