Today our Dharma talk continues our study of Nonviolent Communication. The focus for the study today is on needs and our ability to know and communicate our needs. Needs is the third part of the four parts of the NVC formula; Observation, Feelings, Needs, Request (OFNR).
Nichiren Shu Buddhist priest. My home temple is Myosho-ji, Wonderful Voice Temple, in Charlotte, NC. You may visit the temple’s web page by going to http://www.myoshoji.org. I am also training at Carolinas Medical Center as a Chaplain intern. It is my hope that I eventually become a Board Certified Chaplain. Currently I am also taking healing touch classes leading to become a certified Healing Touch Practitioner. I do volunteer work with the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (you may learn more about them by following the link) caring for individuals who are HIV+ or who have AIDS/SIDA.
This vehicle is approved with joy by the Buddhas. All living beings should extole it. They should make offerings to it, and bow to it…even if you try to find another vehicle throughout the worlds of the ten quarters, you will not be able to find any other one except those given by the Buddhas expediently.
