whenever i associate with someone, may i think myself the lowest among all and hold the other supreme in the depth of my heart!...
when i see beings of wicked natures, pressed by violent sin and affliction, may i hold these rare ones dear as if i had found a precious treasure!...
when others, out of envy, treat me badly with abuse, slander and the like, may i suffer the defeat and offer the victory to others!...
when the one, whom i have benefited with great hope, hurts me very badly, may i behold him as my supreme guru!
in short may i, directly and indirectly, offer benefit and happiness to all beings; may i secretly take upone myself the harm and suffereing of all beings!...
Great entry. You are so right. And so are you, Mark.

You must be so proud of Jackson.
That last paragraph was soooo beautiful Stacey. Even though we know it.... it is always great to have a reminder, to jolt us back into reality. Thanks for that.
