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.

Even our Bodies are Holy
The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are
delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the
shimmering of leaves.

World at Prayer (anthology)
