The Sixth Group of Blessings
âPreparation of Mindâ
âPreparation of Mindâ
The first eighteen blessings form the first half of the Maáđ
gala Sutta. They are all concerned with transforming our lives. It is only upon the foundation of security in life achieved in the first half of the Blessings of Life, that one can go on, in the second half of the Sutta to cultivate purity of mind in earnest by following Blessings nineteen to thirty-eight. When we come to the start of the sixth grouping we are concerned with the preparation of the mind.
