Qualities of Enlightenment

As our consciousness begins to arise, we become more in sync with a universal responsibility in cultivating joy to all beings. Being of service to all, we tune ourselves into the qualities of enlightenment. Each moment we have the opportunity to bring abundance into the lives of those we encounter. A treasured occasion to be in the service of releasing, even if for a moment, emancipating a cycle of suffering. Not motivated by a desire for our own contentment, transforming the mind into bodhicitta by remembering the gentleness of others and the preciousness found within them. Every moment I spend in interaction becomes Dharma, the authentic source of happiness. How fortunate we are that we have these opportunities to serve others and offer them such happiness. "Whatever joy there is in this world All comes from desiring others to be happy, And whatever suffering there is in this world, All comes from desiring myself to be happy. But what need is there to say much more? The childish work for their own benefit, The Buddhas work for the benefit of others. Just look at the difference between them!"
