May All People and Pigs Be Happy
Stuffed pig Pigalina teaches seven-year-old Claire the loving-kindness meditation to help Claire cope with the world with compassion
May All People and Pigs Be Happy follows seven-year-old Claire and her stuffed pig, Pigalina, through a series of encounters--with an angry friend, an elderly neighbor, and a loud, angry driver. From Pigalina, Claire learns some simple phrases that help her to feel kinder toward herself and others. First she learns: "May I be safe. May I be happy. May I feel love." These few words help Claire feel happier, more focused, and kinder toward others in her life. With each new encounter, Pigalina teaches Claire to expand her kindness--first to "May you be safe," then to "May we be safe," and then to "May all people and pigs be safe." This is a simple meditation that can be practiced by anyone regardless of religion to develop compassion, friendship, tenderness, and love. This book is as perfect for those without a background in mindfulness as it is for those who already know the loving-kindness meditation.
