Understanding the Earth in this way, we can walk on the planet with as much respect and reverence as we would walk when in a house of worship or in any sacred space.

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, my body is at peace. Breathing in, I take refuge in Mother Earth. Breathing out, I release all my suffering to the Earth.

Anyone who cultivates love and offers a lot of happiness to others is a bodhisattva.

When we suffer we need love and understanding. We ourselves don’t have enough of these qualities, so when we suffer we try to find them outside ourselves.

If we can ground ourselves, become one with the Earth and treat her with care, she will nourish us and heal our bodies and minds. Our physical and mental sicknesses will be cured, and we will have well-being in body and spirit.

Knowing how to create moments of joy and happiness is crucial for our healing. It’s important to be able to see the wonders of life around us, to recognize all the conditions for happiness that already exist.
