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

Practicing the Presence - Developing a Pure Mind!
Rob Jackson:"oh, my mind ! If you could only learn that everything is non-substantial and transitory; if you could only learn not to grasp after things, not to covet things, not to give way to greed, and anger and foolishness; then we might journey in quietness. Then, by severing the the bond of desires with the sword of wisdom, being undisturbed by changing circumstances - advantage or disadvantage, good or bad, loss or gain, praise or abuse - we might dwell in peace." ~ Teachings of Buddha
Ron Alexander: Thanks Rob for your wise post:Anicca, Annica - the Pali word for changes, constant changes! The Buddha says to observe them with equanimity - both good and bad - taking a middle road not attaching to either to "develop a Pure Mind" which in my words is the same as "Practicing the Presence of God(LOVE)".
