The 2016 Democratic Primary Lovingkindness Mantra

I am not a candidate for President of the United States.

I am not Hillary Clinton. I am not Bernie Sanders.

May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease. May I take care of my own happiness.

My relationships are more important to me than my candidate. May my relatives, friends, coworkers, and neighbors be happy. May they be safe. May they take care of their own happiness.

If the candidate I am voting for loses the nomination, I am not lost. Their defeat is not my defeat.

May Hillary Clinton be happy. May Bernie Sanders be well. May they both be safe. May they be peaceful and at ease. May they take care of their own happiness.

May all who vote for Hillary or Bernie be happy, safe, and at peace. May they all vote in November for someone who is not Donald Trump. May Donald Trump lose in November, and may he, in the wake of his defeat, decide to enter a silent meditation retreat for the rest of his life. May we never hear from him again, and so be safe and at peace.
