Many people limited the use, or understanding, of the heart e.g. 'following ones heart' or 'loving someone will all our heart ... to personal life ... the heart is incredible, helpful in all areas of life and, it produces often surprising, positive or new results 🧡

🧡🧡🧡

You know deep within, you are all that, and more ....

You are a copy of the Divine Book.

You are the mirror of the Sultan’s art, beauty and power.

There is nothing in the universe beyond you.

Whatever you want, ask yourself to give it to you.

Whatever you are looking for, search for it within you.

PS. the heart has no religion, so we share all faiths, it knows and shares love (for sure, no doubt) and is so much more ....

💓 Way of the Bodhisattva 💓 by Joan Halifax

Aspects of the Bodhisattva Ideal that can serve us in this time. Here are seven enriching powers of the Bodhisattva, attitudes and practices that foster not only individual transformation but also social and environmental transformation as well.

• The 1st Bodhisattva power is to foster interconnected communities of integrity and care. This power is about inclusion, intimacy, interbeing, and moral character. As Thich Nhat Hanh has suggested, the coming Buddha is the sangha.

• The 2nd Bodhisattva power is wise hope, hope that is selfless, non transactional, not attached to outcomes, hope that is wise. The wise hope of the Bodhisattvas shows us that what we do matter.. Our actions, how we live, what we care about, what we care for, and how we care really do matter all the same, no matter the outcome.

• The 3rd power is that the Bodhisattva is at home in the midst of uncertainty. The bodhisattva realizes the our lived experience is characterized by fundamental precariousness. They rest in not knowing and live in the atmosphere of surprise.

• The 4th Bodhisattva power is that Bodhisattvas do not seek easy situations and live without fear. This power is about what we call “charnel ground practice.” Bodhisattvas practice fearlessly in the ground of suffering.

• The 5th Bodhisattva power is the actualization of universal compassion. This power is about spontaneous, seamless, unprescribed responsiveness to the truth of suffering.

• The 6th Bodhisattva power is revolutionary joy. This power is about what the social psychologist Dacher Keltner recognizes as the joy arising from “moral beauty” And refers to the unself-conscious acts of virtue that inspire awe in others.

• The 7th Bodhisattva power is imagination. This power is about the generosity of the mind that is free from narrow views.

Realizing the Bodhisattva Ideal is about being authentic, real, raw, wide open, free of views, intimate, and willing to be broken apart and to repair oneself and each other. Most importantly it is about having the imagination to see things as not necessarily perfect but as complete, as whole, and to imagine a repaired, a healed, and inclusive self; and a world of possibilities, based on the natural richness that arises from resting in radical openness, along with the courage to pe*****te the truth of suffering, see it, not flee it, and imagine what liberation can be like for all who suffer.

To beautiful, meaningful not to share ...

How wonderful is the emphasis, closing line ... "a special heart" ...

Once we know how to train, develop or maintain the special heart (every human has - some have it just under a bit, or quite a bit of 'rubble', heaviness or burdens) we all can be this special heart for each other heart what a world it would be 🥰🥰🥰

To be kind is more important than to be right…

How beautiful is this from Paramahansa Yogananda

"Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts."
