Crystal Bed Day 38 - Guest Post From The Dalai Lama

Today was a clear and crisp Crystal Bed session.  My mind was very focused, and all my thoughts were about other people in my life. 
What I'd been thinking about was the image of me as a "broadcaster" of messages.  I realized I needed to be a better "receiver" as well.  We need to learn to receive as well as give.
If we are giving all we can, then clearly the Universe wants to give us all we need and want also. I felt like there were Universal Laws at work here, and we need to be open to both intellectual understanding of them and applying them in our daily lives.
What we understand as the Law of Karma has to do with both giving and receiving, so I thought I'd see what the Dalai Lama has to say about this topic.  Below are his thoughts on how to receive Good Karma which I think are worth sharing.
