Understanding

With a determination to accomplish The highest welfare for all sentient beings, Who surpass even a wish-granting jewel I will learn to hold them supremely dear.

Whenever I associate with others I will learn, To think of myself as the lowest among all, And respectfully hold others to be supreme, From the very depths of my heart.

In all actions I will learn to search into my mind And as soon as an afflictive emotion arises Endangering myself and others, Will firmly face and avert it.

I will learn to cherish all beings of bad nature And those oppressed by strong sins and sufferings, As if I had found a precious Treasury very difficult to find.

When others out of jealousy treat me badly With abuse, slander, and so on, I will learn to take all loss And offer the victory to them.

When one whom I have benefited with great hope Unreasonably hurts me very badly , I will learn to view that person As an excellent spiritual guide.

In short, I will learn to offer to everyone without exception, All help and happiness directly and indirectly, And respectfully take upon myself, All harm and suffering of my mothers.

I will learn to keep these practices, Undefiled by the stains of the eight worldly conceptions, And by understanding all phenomena as like illusion, Be released from the bondage of attachment.

Ascension ?

All spiritual traditions have spoken of the ultimate goal of meditation. It has been called Enlightenment; Self Realization; God Realization; Nirvana; Cosmic Consciousness; Mukti;
Christ Consciousness; etc. Currently, the term "Ascension" is emerging in our collective consciousness to refer to this goal, so we will use that term for consistency. What, then, is Ascension ?

Ascension is:

Becoming an instrument of Universal Light, Love, Wisdom and Power. Playing a greater role of service in the Great Cosmic Plan. Taking our place among the assembly of Ascended Beings from all cultures who have reached this evolutionary pinnacle.
