Am I listening? Learn to listen like the Buddha Shirleen Kajiwara, Bright Dawn Lay Minister When we learn to experience life with the wonder of a child and gratitude of an adult, we are listening like the Buddha. Quiet the mind, reduce anxiety, increase serenity and allow gratitude to arise by learning to listen receptively – to live.
