Opening the Heart

Though we feel powerless to change the state of the world, we can change our own minds. We can open to peace here within us. Regardless of our vacillating moods or reactions, awareness is ever present. So staying present and aware, learn to trust, forgiving fears or doubts and let them go. By persevering with kindness, wholesome intentions and thoughts, we come to understand ourselves and each other. We see the empty, impermanent qualities of all things – and their suffering nature. Knowing our true spiritual strength in awareness and the moral fibre of our humanity, the heart opens to profound peace and unshakeable compassion.
