that at a Thich Nhat Hanh group I was given a hard time about my request to not burn incense. (I have MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and incense makes me sick.)

made me wonder what is meant by "loving kindness".

I had a similar reaction when I wanted to attend a Kundalini Yoga group.

altho most places will accomodate.
