responsibility desire wish
My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.
people mind wish
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
suffering inner-strength wish
Suffering increases your inner strength. Also, the wishing for suffering makes the suffering disappear.
wish action helping
You can’t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.
heart one-day wish
My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call 'education of the heart'.
death attachment wish-to-die
We cannot hope to die peacefully if our lives have been full of violence, or if our minds have mostly been agitated by emotions like anger, attachment, or fear. So if we wish to die well, we must learn how to live well: Hoping for a peaceful death, we must cultivate peace in our mind, and in our way of life.
compassion suffering wish
Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.
responsibility wish helping
In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.
sadness meditation wish
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.
exercise inner-strength wish
Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. From the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. Of course, I do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.
peace wish ifs
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.
order competition wish
There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.
differences people wish
We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.
roots wish service-to-others
The root of happiness is altruism - the wish to be of service to others.
