The Gift You Can Give Anywhere, Anytime & Its Free!

In our culture, partial of a season's protocol includes exchanging gifts. A lot of us have mixed as well as contradictory feelings about this. we have jokingly listened a season referred to as "the winter selling festival." It is a blurb pressure circus which makes us recoil in disgust. Something gets lost in a foofaraw of black friday as well as cyber monday as well as a cry for us to buy, buy, buy, now, later, on fighting day. Sometimes a things we have been urged to buy have been have been so incredibly unnecessary,as to be amusing; things which have caused me personally to nominate "useless present of a year"; things such as electric jewelery cleaners, prohibited dog cookers. I'm certain we have a few nominations of your own.

So here's a different kind of sell we can rivet in at anytime, Yuletide or not, which might appear some-more meaningful:

"In sequence to turn used to caring for others some-more than yourself,
You should move to thoughts a necessary points as well as confederate in your being
The cognisance for exchanging self as well as others,
While riding a equine of a breath.
from "The Great Medicine That Conquers Clinging To The Notion Of Reality" root content of Shechen Gyaltsap Pema Namgyal

Here is a wonderfully clear commentary on a practice by Shechen Rabjam:
...Breath out whilst thinking, "May all my great qualities, happiness, merit, as well as fulfilment go out with my exhale as well as benefit all beings." Think which all beings embrace these benefits. Then breathe in whilst imagining which we breathe all of their pang as well as its causes, their disastrous thoughts, as well as so on. Imagine which we attract these afflictions as well as negativities similar to a magnet, as well as by dissolving all which we breathe in to your heart, others have been freed. Then whilst briefly land your breath, renovate all a p! ang as w ell as negativity which we inhaled in to complacency as well as happiness."

Happy present exchanging!
