✨ To meditate on today
According to Śāntideva, in the Bodhicaryāvatāra, the mere wish to awaken for the good of all, the “thought of Bodhi” (Bodhi means Awakening), already bears fine fruit, but when this wish turns into action, it becomes an unceasing river of blessings. Today, turn a good intention into a concrete act: the message, the help or the service you have been thinking of for a long time, do it today.
