We can restore our innate mirror-like wisdom, transform our hatred, by developing Love-Metta. In this way we become like the blue Buddha Akshobhya.
We can restore our innate all-distinguishing wisdom, transform our greed and attachment, by developing Compassion-Karuna. In this way we become like the red Buddha Amitabha.
We can restore our innate all-performing wisdom, transform our envy and jealousy, by developing Sympathetic Joy-Mudita. In this way we become like the green Buddha Amoghasiddhi.
We can restore our innate wisdom of equality, transform our arrogance and pride, by developing Equanimity-Upekkha. In this way we become like the yellow Buddha Ratnasambhava.

Hi Sheena, Thanks for saying, I’ve been enjoying imagining the retreat affecting people around the world and it’s great to hear about the circumstances of your life and have a real sense of someone out there! Where are you? Metta to you and your family.
