In the lap of the Buddha

Years ago I heard the expression, "place your head on the lap of the Buddha." I love this comforting, nurturing thought, picturing myself with my head in Buddha's lap and a gentle, motherly hand, stroking my hair away from my face. And while words, and the internet, can be helpful and useful, nothing can compare with putting oneself--through imagination and prayer--into this place of being held. I invite you to take a breath or two in the quiet and place yourself gently into the lap of the Buddha, eyes closed and heart open, to be cared for, cherished, and loved.
