Please put the attention on the breath for just a few moments.
Imagine that you have a beautiful white lotus flower growing in your heart.
Most beautiful flower which opens all its petals until it's fully open.
And a golden stream of light comes out of the center of that lotus flower and fills you from head to toe with light and warmth and beauty.
And you feel secure and protected within that warmth that comes from your heart.
And now let that golden stream of light from the center of your heart reach out and fill the lotus flower.
And now let that golden stream of light from the center of your heart reach out and fill the person sitting nearest you with love and light and warmth.
And surrounding that person with the rays of this golden light giving the gift of your heart.
And we'll think of our parents,
Whether they're still alive or not.
And the golden stream of light from the center of our heart reaches out to their hearts and we give them the greatest gift we have.
Love and care,
Gratitude,
And fill them with that golden light so that they feel our togetherness and our nearness.
And we'll think of those people who are nearest and dearest to us.
Those that we might live with.
Those that are most meaningful in our lives.
And we let the golden stream of light from the center of our heart reach out and illuminate their hearts with warmth and light.
Giving the best we have,
The care and the warmth that live in our hearts and that are just waiting to be given away.
And when we give them away,
We give them the best we have.
And when we give them away,
We don't want to expect anything in return.
We think of friends,
Acquaintances,
Relatives,
Whoever comes to mind.
And the golden stream of light that comes from our heart reaches out to all of them,
Fills them with the delight of warmth and illumination and splendor.
And we see the happiness that they get from that.
And we think of those people whom we meet in our everyday lives.
They play an important part in our lives.
Our neighbors,
People at work,
In offices that we visit,
In shops,
Patients,
Teachers,
Students.
Whoever might be a part of everyday living,
Let them all arise before your mind's eye.
See them clearly.
And then let the golden stream of light from the center of your heart reach out to them,
To make them your beloved people,
For whom you care with the warmth of your heart.
And you can see quite clearly that the rays of this golden stream of light illuminate their hearts.
Bring some joy.
And now we'll think of a person we don't like.
Someone whom we either have been angry at or are permanently rejecting,
Whose ideas and ideals we don't share,
Whose actions we consider bad or evil.
Anyone or several.
Or if we can't think of anyone who is very difficult for us,
Then anyone towards whom we are indifferent.
And we let the golden stream of light from the center of our heart reach out to the difficult or the indifferent person.
And we can see that their hearts become shining and golden,
Full of the warmth of love.
And so we can let go of the difficulty or the indifference and feel our togetherness.
And now we let the golden stream of light from the center of our heart flow out like a golden stream.
That gathers momentum,
Goes over its banks and reaches out to as many people as it can touch,
Bringing the beauty of love and the light of care and compassion to as many people as possible.
First,
We let this golden stream reach out to everyone here and touch everyone's heart with the gold,
With the light,
With the warmth of love.
And then to everyone at Green Gorge.
And then we let this stream of light flow further and further to people whom we know or those we have just seen or those that we just know about or those that we assume are there.
We let it flow into their houses,
Into their hearts.
All around here,
Further afield,
Into the whole city,
The towns and cities that are further away.
As far as the strength of our heart will reach,
We let this stream of golden light flow to touch the hearts of as many people as possible.
And we can feel that the more we let it flow,
The more strength it gathers.
And we put the attention back on ourselves.
And are aware of the golden stream of light filling us from head to toe,
Illuminating,
Giving us the splendor of light surrounding us with the warmth of love.
And then we let the golden stream of light go back inside the lotus flower,
Which closes its petals.
And then we anchor that beautiful flower in our heart so that it may become one with it.
May people everywhere learn to love.
