About Contemplating Illness
For the majority of my life I have in one way or another engaged in caring for people suffering from various diseases and illnesses. First, taking care of boys dying from AIDS. Then as a Board Certified Chaplain, BCC and working as a staff chaplain in a major hospital in Charlotte, NC.
As I read through Paul L. Swanson’s translation of T’ien-T’ai Chih-I’s Mo-Ho Chih-Kuan: Clear Serenity, Quiet Insight I began mulling over, sitting with, ruminating, meditating on the section “Contemplating the Objects of Disease.” Every living being endures in some form or another disease and suffering. Since so much of my life’s work has been in this realm, I feel strongly compelled to offer my insights from studying this section in the hopes that it may be of benefit to others.
