ABOUT THIS AFFIRMATION:
"The Buddha himself said that if
you repeatedly practice this prayerful
meditation - with a forgiving,
loving heart while relinquishing judgment,
anger and prejudice - great benefits
will ensue: you will sleep easily,
wake easily and have pleasant dreams,
people will love you, celestial beings
will love you and protect you;
poisons, weapons, fire, and other external
dangers will not harm you; your
face will be radiant and your mind
concentrated and serene; and you
will die unconfused
and be reborn in happy realms."
- Lama Surya Das, Awakening
the Buddha Within
