I hope so. I’m quite into it.
But one part put me off. If you are being mercilessly tortured by the likes of ISIS or even a nagging wife, you have to say to yourself “Goodwill to all sentient beings, even this one”
Imagine being on the rack or any of those horrendous things from the middle ages, and having to wish your abuser goodwill!

Anita, this is definitely true if you read up on theravadan Buddhism.
