bless - Thubten Chodron

Inspire. It means to transform our mind. A blessing is not like an object given from master to student. A student has received “blessing” or has been inspired when his or her own mind transforms into the Dharma, i.e. when the student has understood and integrated the meaning of the teachings into his or her life.
