What might be the effect if every person on the planet began this day and every day from a place of loving-kindness and a commitment to creating a planet that works for everyone?

The Mirror

In the situations I have witnessed, there is no divine intervention. All we have is each other. We create our own problems, and it is up to us to solve them. Deliberately to remove oneself from this dialogue is a way of turning one’s back and confirms the sad proposition ...

Love

Love is a gift. It must be given without expectation of return. If we expect something in return for our loving-kindness, doesn’t that mean it is a commodity to be exchanged for something else we desire? What kind of feeling arises when what we receive as a gift comes with ...

Patience

In the great scheme of things, it is often wise to remember that what people do has nothing to do with us. Even when they are screaming at us and have come to the place where “their lives” are miserable because of something “we have done or not done.” Often ...

Happiness

Almost every person you know has a list of things that make them "happy." The right dinner, view, partner, friend, flower; i'm sure you have a list. What if those are simply preferences and that what makes you happy is actually you. What if you could simply recognize you live ...

Failure

Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. - Henry Ford What have you failed at recently? ...

It IS Possible





Love, loving-kindness, kindness, presence, equanimity.

All of these words and/or the states of being they represent are considered to be important to individuals and contribute to personal quality of life.





Do you want the people who run your country, company, NGO, the producer of your food or your childcare provider to know, experience and operate from these states of being?








You Are The One





God and the Buddha have been spoken of as the ground of being of ultimate Loving-Kindness.






What makes you think you don’t have that capacity?

Can you imagine the impact that internalization might have on the world?
