Benevolence is a sophisticated word for having a good intention for all human beings, including oneself. This good intention comes from a warm, friendly compassionate heart that is free from cruelty and judgment – just like a monk's soul is supposed to be.
To help you experience this loving, kind-mannered attitude, we challenge you to take a moment before today’s meals, to recall what is right in your life. After a few minutes of connecting to that inner feeling of goodness, let it overflow by wishing yourself and other human beings well. Your wish can be a simple sentence, mantra, or a visualization.
