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

Death as Birth in disguise
Mary Jones: As a nurse, I came to think the process of dying was much like labor pains, the pain of transitioning. And it seemed to me that the relief of the physical pain, death, was a very freeing thing. Anyway, it is part of the natural process, will happen to us all, is inevitable, and can probably be made less traumatic through acceptance and pre-planning. Ron, thank you for bringing this sometimes taboo subject up for discussion.
