When consciousness is calm and open, we rest in equanimity. As our peaceful heart meets other beings, it fills with love. When this love meets pain, it transforms itself naturally into compassion. And when this same openhearted love meets happiness, it becomes joy. In this way, we can find happiness everywhere. The Thai Buddhist teacher Ajahn Buddhadasa says that finding goodness everywhere allows us to be servants of peace. – by Jack Kornfield from Bringing Home the Dharma
May this holiday season, however you celebrate it, be filled with loving-kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity!
