The peace of Nirvāna will enter into his heart.

Excerpt

I know that the king's heart is full of love and that for his son's sake he feels deep grief. But let the ties of love that bind him to the son whom he lost embrace with equal kindness all his fellow-beings, and he will receive in his place a greater one than Siddhattha; he will receive the Buddha, the teacher of truth, the preacher of righteousness, and the peace of Nirvāna will enter into his heart.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Gospel of Buddha, the Buddha answers his father, the king, saddened at no longer having his son Siddhattha beside him: if the love he bears for one is widened to all beings, he will find the peace of Nirvana, the complete stilling of the heart. Today, think tenderly of someone you love, then consciously extend that same tenderness to a neighbour, a colleague or a stranger you meet during the day.
