Description

(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) This talk takes a dive into Gratitude as a way to hold suffering. The Jewish holiday of Passover began on Saturday. Passover is a holiday of liberation. One of the most joyous parts of the holiday is singing the song Dayenu, which translates as "It would have been enough." The song's lyrics list one blessing after another, 15 in all. After each verse the refrain is "if that was all, it would have been enough. But then there was this (next blessing)."

When we look at our lives through this lens it gives us inspiration to see and appreciate all the good in our lives as we process all that is challenging.
