 "Tonglen, the Buddhist meditation practice of 'sending and taking,' gives us a way to work with our (or others’) anger, suffering, stress, or heartbreak. Simple yet counter-intuitive, this meditation reverses the flow of ego, easing our silly crazy mopey neurosis and engendering compassion." ~ Waylon Lewis, Chapter 18: "It’s Never too Late to Fall in Love with your Life."

Waylon addresses comments Readers have made about Elephant’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine war crimes with three points.
“I am not the voice of Elephant. I am the steward of Elephant and you can write on Elephant anytime. Why is that important? Because there are so many people who know so much more than me. Do we need to hear from me or from Elephant Journal about Palestine? No.
The world is not crying for Elephant’s voice on Palestine.
But we do need to hear from you, and we are a community here to platform you, with respectful dialogue.” ~ Waylon Lewis

"Hey friends, this is Waylon. I am the founder of Elephant. Normally I'll talk about something mindful, something in the world, something helpful that's of good value to you and your heart and in your daily life. But today I want to try something a little different. I want to touch in with you about Elephant." ~ Waylon Lewis
