Episode notes
Buddhist Wish Practice Versus Law Of Attraction
- Tibetan Buddhism includes wish practices (manifesting) akin to the Law of Attraction but embedded in ethical guidance to avoid unintended harm.
- Wishes should be for true happiness and mixed with altruistic intent so outcomes benefit both you and others.
Make Wishes Altruistic And Specific
- Make personal wishes altruistic by framing them to benefit others (e.g., wish for a partner who will help you both do good) to align manifesting with ethical outcomes.
- Ask what you truly want (house vs. garden use) and wish for the deeper benefit rather than raw means like money.
Build Love With Extended Loving Kindness Practice
- To reach the Love stage, practice loving-kindness meditation sending love to self, neutral people, enemies, community, and the world, doing extended daily practice or retreats.
- Tara describes extended loving-kindness retreats producing deep, lasting effects toward compassion.
