Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Hello, New Day


--by pritipt, posted Sep 3, 2014
One of the first things I do every morning is say, "Hello, new day," and recite the following aloud, as told by the 14th H.H. Dalai Lama:

"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.”
