Everyday, Think as you wake up, Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious Human Life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, To expand my heart out to others, To achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as i can.
The Buddha once summarised his entire teachings in one beautiful sentence: I teach about suffering and the way to end it.
The supreme and endless blessings of Samantabhadra’s deeds, I now universally transfer. May every living being, drowning and adrift, Soon return to the Land of Limitless Light!
Rejoicing in other’s merit as a way of making merit is to be understood as rejoicing with the words, ‘Good, well done (sadhu)’, when for instance, others share merit with us, or when they perform another meritorious act. This also falls within one of the four divine abidings, namely mudita (sympathetic joy).
