Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

No Thing Ness - "The best things in life are not things."
Emptiness, nothingness is more of an Eastern Value than a Western one. Here in the West, we appear to need to fill up our lifes with some"things" - objects in everyroom or filling up our time with listening to music or texting or talking on phone or watching television. Only an empty vessel can be filled, and only in silence can the "small still voice' be heard.
