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

An Exhilirating Sense of Freedom - Inspiring Artist Cao's Way
Master artist, Cao Yong, a refugee from China,deeply saddened by 9-11 went into seclusion for 2 months, and painted a masterpiece called FREEDOM. Cao, who I used to represent as an agent, really helps me appreciate my liberty in this country much more. After being jailed for painting “religious” subjects (Tibetan monasteries and sites before his government tore them down), he managed to escape China and eventually reached the U.S.A. in the late 90's.
