"Everything Exists on the Tip of a Wish"

I recently came across this saying when a Buddhist nun was asked how one pursues Buddhism. Her reply was, "Everything exists on the tip of a wish". Just thinking about Buddhism is the first step. Then you will find yourself seeking out like ideas and eventually things just fall into place.

I find this concept to be a consistent one in my life. It always shows up whenever I need it, and is ever inspiring. I am so thankful for my family and teachers always encouraging me to make new goals and find ways of achieving them.

We are in control of our lives. What we put out into the world will surely find its way back. By creating positive thoughts we can change our lives to help others. "Everything exists on the tip of a wish".
1. Dream it
2. Think about it
3. Talk about it
4. Make realistic steps towards it
5. Visualize every aspect of how it will feel when achieved
6. Enroll others
7. Hold yourself accountable

  1. I love this quote and heard Ven Robina Courtin say Lama Zopa said this. I'm thinking of getting it tattooed and would love to know for sure who originally said it. Do you know?

    Thanks!
