I'm making a resolution to start and end my day with this prayer for a pure and forgiving heart. Borrowed from Lama Surya Das.
May my heart stay open and loving even when I'm feeling hurt and frayed.
May I learn always to include others in love's vast embrace.
May my heart remain pure and kind amid the painful details and muck of life.
May virtue and serenity belong to all, even my competitor and adversaries.
May my brokenheartedness open my heart even further to bring forth love and openhearted compassion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Be kind to the destitute,
Be patient and loving toward the wicked,
Be kind to the afflicted,
Be gentle with the fool,
Empathize with the weak and oppressed,
Be especially compassionate to those who cling to concrete reality.
(Patrul Rinpoche)
