With mindfulness we can open to the mystery of our human incarnation—to gaze with an open heart at the unbearable beauty and the ocean of tears that make up life.
Picture someone you care about, someone you love. Feel the natural well-wishing of love. Surround them with care:
"May you be held in compassion.
May your struggles and sorrows be eased.
May your heart be at peace."
Now imagine that this person wishes the same for you.
