OFFERING BLESSINGS AND
PEACE TO THE WORLD
If everyone were to move onto the positive path of peace and lovingkindness, imagine what a great spirit of compassion, cooperation, and harmony would be generated! Instead of squandering our energy in self-pity, blaming, and criticizing, we can use our beautiful qualities for the sake of giving to ourselves and each other.
In a gracious and spacious state, we can turn our thoughts into well-wishings, offering all that we have --- our love, blessings, and deep equanimity - to the whole universe. Even the most intransigent heart cannot help but be touched when, in the silence of our presence, we send out a thought, "May you be happy! May you find your right path! May you be free from suffering!"
Herein lies the true healing of the planet – to surround ourselves with wholesome fragrant thoughts, to wish well to all beings without exception, and to dwell in this aura - in the holistic vision of all life as one.
