How Do I Respect My Father’s View?

Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Bethesda Chevy Chase

March 18, 2021

Q: My father lives in California. He’s older, he’s disabled. He’s not very healthy and he’s really strong in his faith in Christianity…When I go home, he asks me questions about am I saved, and what do I really believe and I find it really uncomfortable because I know what he wants me to say and I know that he’s worried that I’ll go to hell and I’m not born again…And so right now up to this point, I try to deflect, I try to be respectful, and I’ve tried to ignore. So I want to show up the best way I can for him, to honor him and also to ensure that I hold myself in a way that I respect him fully. And not feel just some sort of frustration.

Wisdom For You

Meditation

Meditation is about being awake to the here, now and me. 
Nothing else is happening at this moment.
Recognize that you exist at this exact moment simply by breathing in and out.
