祝福 Blessings

"Blessings don’t come from outside, but from within. Whatever blessings we receive are the result of our own efforts and positive actions."
(From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's tweet on August 21, 2013)
Cf. https://twitter.com/DalaiLama/status/370115484596703232

祝福は外部から来るのではなく、内面から来ます。私たちが受けるどのような祝福も、私たち自身の努力と肯定的な行動の結果なのです。(超訳)

To the contrary, whatever negative consequences we receive are the result of our own negative actions. These are the law of causality. (My commentary)

逆に、私たちが受けるどのような否定的な結果も、私たち自身の否定的な行動の結果なのです。これが因果の法則です。(解説)
