Limitless Thoughts
December 20, 2003

Every evening before the meditation, we have that chant of goodwill: goodwill for ourselves, goodwill for the people around us. But it’s not just a chant. We’re trying to develop the attitude that goes along with the chant, really wishing for your own true happiness, wishing for the true happiness of the people around us. Because this is one of those thoughts that doesn’t need to have a limit. However much true happiness you gain, you’re not taking anything else away from anyone else. However much they gain, they’re not taking anything away from you. It’s good to be able to put the mind in an unlimited state by thinking of unlimited things like that.
