Total Liberation – via The Great Middle Way

Once infinite loving kindness has been developed,

frequently practiced, firmly established, expanded,

made a vehicle, a foundation, and brought to full perfection,

then it will be impossible for ill-will to take possession of and obsess the mind,

for infinite loving kindness is the release from all ill-will!

Once great compassion has been developed,

frequently practiced, firmly established, expanded,

made a vehicle, a foundation, and brought to full perfection,

then it will be impossible for cruelty to take possession of and obsess the mind,

for great compassion is the release from all cruelty!

Once rejoicing in the happiness of others has been developed,

frequently practiced, firmly established, expanded,

made a vehicle, a foundation, and brought to full perfection,

then it will be impossible for discontent to take possession of and obsess the mind,

for rejoicing in the happiness of others is the release from all discontent!

Once serene, still, and imperturbable equanimity has been developed,

frequently practiced, firmly established, expanded,

made a vehicle, a foundation, and brought to full perfection,

then it will be impossible for greed and lust to take possession of and obsess the mind,

for imperturbable equanimity is the deliverance from all attachment!

Each Day a Blessing via -Bayart

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. — Groucho Marx

Smile, the universe has your back. Each day is a fresh chance to make our life what we want it to be. We put to rest the mistakes of yesterday, we dusted off and went to bed.

Now, here comes the sunshine. Arise and greet the day with fresh eyes, a smile, and the determination to be better than we were the day before. Because in reality that is all we’ve got to do.

Whether it’s work or play, it is our choice how we do it. And why wouldn’t we do it 110%? How could we expect to receive Universal Abundance if we half-ass our life?

Setting intentions of consciousness & shifting our mindset, we now put ourselves in a position to seize our greatest potential. All it takes is a positively motivated mindset.

Student: “Is there anything I can do to make myself Enlightened?”

Teacher: “As little as you can do to make the sun rise in the morning.”

Student: “Then what use are the spiritual exercises you prescribe?”

Teacher: “To make sure you are not asleep when the sun begins to rise.”
