This is the third of three podcasts for Nollaig na mBan. And here is something extra special and personal. I'm sharing something about how I get through this part of the winter, and how I use both Christian and Buddhist faith to hold myself together. Christmas is the transformation of the universe and it can happen in me. That's where I begin, on Nollaig na mBan. But then in the buddhist bodhisattva dedication prayer I find a path towards action.

I go for refuge to the Buddha, The Dharma, The Sanga, until I am enlightened; and by the positive potential that I create by practising generosity and other far reaching attitudes, my I attain buddhahood not just for myself but in order to benefit other sentient beings.

Well you know it's only therapy if it works for you. And it's as simple as learning to sing. So happy new year. Soon we will get across the desert of January with wonderful surprises and find sustenance at the well of Brigid.
