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.

Our lives are "a gift freely given":
What we are, what we have, even our salvation, all is gift, all is grace, not to be achieved but to be received as a gift freely given.
