Question

Regarding the "Going to bed" meditation, I had a sad challenge -- I couldn't find someone to fit in the role of "person closest to you" because I don't have a spouse/children/close family. Suggestions, please?

Answer

Well, you could consider your Dhamma family. That is very helpful. If you're closest to some people in your Dhamma family, the person closest to you could be the person who is most helpful to you. That is frequently what monks and nuns who don't have children, spouses or family will do, so perhaps you can do that for yourself, too.
