Today I begin with awareness

May I walk this day with a clear mind and a compassionate heart. In all I see, read, and share, may I not be led by craving, fear, or illusion.

I acknowledge how easily I can be misled—by appearances, by urgency, by desire.

• May I cultivate right understanding and right intention.

• May I pause . . .  before reacting, and respond with wisdom.

All that I use are temporary conditions, not possessions.

• devices

• information

• resources, services and shields

       May I use them skillfully, without attachment, and without causing harm.

When I enter accounts or messages,

• If all is well, may I be grateful, not careless.

• If something is wrong, may I respond calmly, without panic, take wise action.

May I act with care online—truthful, kind, and mindful, not spread falsehood or harm others through careless words or actions.

I hold my family and others in compassion.

•       May they be safe from deception, fear, and harm.

•       May they live with clarity and peace.

As the day ends, I reflect without judgment.

• Where I acted unskillfully, may I learn.

• Where I acted with wisdom, may I continue.

All things arise and pass away.

May I rest in peace, aware and at ease.
