When the mind is released into friendliness

by the practice of Goodwill,

by manifesting Friendliness,

by cultivating Amity,

by frequently making much of it,

by making Friendliness the vehicle, the tool, the basis, the medium , the foundation,

by persisting in it,

by insisting on it,

by properly consolidating it,

by thoroughly undertaking it, by making it a familiar habit,

by so being well established in it,

these eleven blessings can be expected…’
