I remember her, sitting on the floor of the house in Barre where she and her family were staying when they visited the Insight Meditation Society. She would be playing games with her young grandson Rishi, laughing, and then she would get up to instruct someone in meditation. Afterwards perhaps she might go wash her clothes by hand and hang them out to dry. She might do walking meditation, then return to the house to sit. Rishi would be running around the room, while her daughter Dipa would be cooking. And Dipa Ma would be meditating right there in the midst of all that activity. Whenever anyone sat down in front of her, she would open her eyes and shower the person with blessings. This was how Dipa Ma taught, with warmth, simplicity, and goodheartedness.  \nMany times I hear her voice whispering to me, challenging me to extend myself to find what I am actually capable of, especially in terms of love and compassion. She was an incredible model of kindness, the type that is born of great suffering, and a consequent, constant remembrance of what is really important. When I find myself hesitating, frightened of opening up to somebody, I see an image of her as she comes out of meditation in a chaotic room, and blesses someone. I hear her voice encouraging me. Then, filled with her blessing, I reach beyond my fears to find within me the lovingkindness she embodied so st","cbCaiqJpruCSmrel","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqJpruCSmrel","pdf",6353957,5,1,149,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n## Sharon Salzberg\n# Introduction\n## Joseph Goldstein\n# Part One Dipa Ma’s Extraordinary Life\n## Chapter 1 Born into Buddhism\n## Chapter 2 Awakening\n## Chapter 3 Unshakeable Peace\n# Part Two Dipa Ma’s Spiritual Path\n## Chapter 4 To the Edge and Beyond\n## Chapter 5 Seeing Through Our Stories\n## Chapter 6 The Deepest Freedom\n## Chapter 7 How are You Living Your Life?\n## Chapter 8 Love Bowing to Love\n## Chapter 9 At Home in Strange Realms\n## Chapter 10 Fearless Daughter of the Buddha\n# Part Three Dipa Ma’s Legacy\n## Chapter 11 Ten Lessons to Live by\n## Chapter 12 In the Presence of a Master: Questions and Answers\n## Chapter 13 The Legacy Continues\n# Afterword","[{\"question\":\"Who is Dipa Ma in the book’s framing, and why is she considered extraordinary?\",\"answer\":\"Dipa Ma is presented as both a meditation teacher and a person whose presence transforms others through quiet peace infused with love.
