Please put the attention on the breath for just a few moments.
Think of your own creativity.
How you can make something very beautiful.
Decide how to do it.
And then proceed doing that with your heart.
Do you want to fill it with jewels,
Shining and bright,
Colorful,
Translucent?
Or do you want to fill it with gold?
Or do you want to fill it with flowers?
Fill your heart with the most beautiful things that you can think of.
Making it a wonderful place to rest in.
And then looking at the beauty in your heart.
Enjoy it and love it.
And now let the person sitting nearest you here enter into your heart.
To enjoy its beauty.
To become imbued with the love for that beauty.
Feeling restful at ease.
And wanting to stay in this beautiful place of your heart.
Now let your parents enter into this beautiful,
Shining,
Translucent heart.
Which they can enjoy,
Feel love,
Be at rest and stay.
And now let the person sitting next to you here enter into your heart.
Now let your dearest people come into your heart.
See how they enjoy it and love it.
How they appreciate the beauty of it.
How they want to stay there and rest within that beauty.
Now think of your good friends and let them all enter into your heart.
See how they smile.
And appreciate the beauty of your heart that they've been allowed to enter.
Enjoy it,
Love it and stay there.
Find a home in it.
Think of the people whom you meet in your everyday life.
Take each one by the hand and lead them to your heart.
Let them enter and see the enjoyment and the love of this wondrous place filled with the utmost beauty.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Think of other people you know,
Whom you can lead to your heart.
Let them enter and enjoy and be overwhelmed with the beauty they find and they love the experience.
See how your heart is full of people and there's still lots of room for more.
There's no limit.
The beauty of the heart is limitless.
Now think of some people towards whom you're quite indifferent.
You neither like nor dislike them.
Take them by the hand,
Let them enter into your heart.
See the joy on their faces when they recognize the beauty and the love that they find there.
Now think of some difficult person or person you know,
A person or persons.
And recognize the dukkha in that person,
Take him or her by the hand and lead him or her to your heart.
The beauty and the wonder create real happiness for that person Think of those people whose lives are far more difficult than ours.
Think of those people whose lives are far more difficult than ours.
In hospital,
In prison,
In refugee camps,
In war zones,
Crippled,
Blind,
Hungry,
Without shelter,
Without friends.
Think of the many people that this applies to.
And take as many of them by the hand as you can and lead them to the beautiful heart that is within you,
Where they can find joy and love and a home.
As you lead them to your heart,
You can embrace them,
For that they know they're really welcome.
Thank you.
Think of the many people who live on this globe of ours.
And see whether you can accommodate them all,
So that they can all enjoy the wondrous beauty which you have created in your heart,
Making them happy,
Making them feel the warmth of love.
Now put your attention back on yourself.
Look at the wonderful jewels or flowers or the gold of your heart.
See how it has created such beauty that when you rest within it,
There's joy and love and peace within you.
Thank you.
Think of the joy and the love and the peace as the most wonderful jewels of your heart,
Shining in all directions.
Thank you.
May people everywhere create great beauty in their hearts.
