Description

Ven. Chodron gives the Mother's Day Service at the Gardenia Center in Sandpoint, Idaho, and speaks about "Love, Serve, and Remember," a hymn that was sung at the service. She then goes on to share a moving story from "Finding Freedom: Writings From Death Row" by Jarvis Jay Masters, a death row inmate at San Quentin who found it in his heart to forgive his Mother despite having a difficult childhood. The lyrics of the hymn are as follows: "Why have we come to earth; Do you remember? Why have we taken birth, Why have we come? To love, serve and remember; To love, serve and remember."
