Step 7 -Our strong altruistic wish to want to save others from their suffering and bring them to happiness, leads us to wish to become the one who can do this great work.
Only the Great Ones are capable of saving others in this way, and so we commit ourselves to becoming the one who can [...]
Recognizing the suffers of others, and our great love for them and wish that they not suffer, we develop a sense of altruism. We want to stop their suffering. The altruistic wish to want to take responsibility for relieving their suffering and bringing them happiness arises in us.
This wish is so strong we might weep. [...]
Recognizing the kindness of all others in our life and wishing to repay that kindness forms the basis for our ability to love all others. Like a loving mother toward her precious child, we cultivate a love for all beings. This love that comes from the force of attraction is cultivated naturally.
We want them to [...]
