Great idea David. We feed the birds every day and take great delight in watching them eat.

But now we can dedicate this to the Queen, what a great idea. Thank you

I am a retired Roman Catholic Priest. I offered my Mass today for the Queen. Thank you for the beautiful and inspiring reflection.

I live in Moscow, and I am very depressed because I hate the war. I'm trying to do something good and dedicate it to those who died in the war.

Lovely message you are launching into the world, David! The intention can speak to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. We all can take actions that create more happiness/kindness/compassion/love. Thank you.

What can we do to help those who have passed on beyond the 49 days? Is chanting Om Mani Padme Hum daily helpful to them? Is feeding birds on their behalf helpful for them (ie the deceased)?

Thank you David, such an important way to show our regard for those who have passed and to assist the living. I'll pass your message on to my daughters whose father passed away recently.

David, thank you so much for explaining this. It's such a simple thing and so full of meaning.

Funnily, I filled the bird-feeder yesterday...

Such wonderful and positive acts that we can all do, no matter our belief or even for those who don't know much about Buddhism and/or the Bardo. Kindness is always good, and add the intention of helping the Queen through the Bardo, and it becomes so much more powerful and beneficial. Thank you 🙏

Thank you David for reminding us of this simple practice. A beautiful way to thank the Queen for all she has done during her reign and a positive outlet for the sadness felt by all of us who valued her.

Wonderful, thank you. Just before I listened to you, I rescued a small dog. This virtue I definitely dedicate the Queen in the bardo.

What a contrast to mourning! Thank you for the redirection. The birds will be happy and so will I. As I go through the days (39 I believe of Bardo), I will be intentional in my kindness to others by honoring Elizabeth II in transition. Thank you so much for the teaching, David.
