Nourishing the Self with Kindness in Dharma Practice

Dharma practice emphasizes the cultivation of practices that focus on nourishing oneself, as highlighted in the Buddha's discourses. When individuals lack a sense of deep nourishment, they engage in a constant pursuit of fulfilling their own needs, viewing the world as a space for personal gain. This mindset perpetuates a cycle of unfulfillment. However, by nurturing oneself with kindness and opening up to being sustained by kindness, individuals can shift towards a more nourishing and fulfilling state of being.
