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.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
When we are brave enough to sit with our pain, it deepens our ability to sit with the pain of others. It shows us how to love them.
VALARIE KAUR
Suffering is when we cannot ""sit with our pain" - acceptance is the key to not suffering.
