Love and Happiness

Sunday, September 11, 2005 @ 10:46 PM -0400 GMT

May I feel love for all beings. And when others do not return love, may I have compassion for them.

May I always recognize the ability to love even a single being as infinitely more precious than being loved.

May I always remember that my happiness is immeasurable and unshakable when I allow myself to truly love while my happiness gained by any other means will be easily lost.

May my heart always be full yet overflowing.

May those who feel isolated and lonely feel comfort from any love I have to share.

May I ever strive to feel a kinship to all living beings.

May my spiritual path always be measured by the amount of love I have for all beings.
And if I see that my choices and actions lead to a decrease in this love, may I quickly redirect myself to the path which opens the heart again.

May I always recognize when I withold love for others and thus quickly release and give it to them.

May my love always be guided by a force of wisdom which transforms that love into what is most needed by those I love.

And if that wisdom is not present may I quickly attain it.

And if the wisdom is not readily apparent, please shower grace on me that I may not be discouraged and continue to seek to be a source of love.

This is my happiness.
