+  Boundless joy is the joy you should feel when you see gifted and learned
+beings who are happy, famous or influential.  Instead of feeling uneasy and
+envious of their good fortune, rejoice sincerely, thinking, "May they continue
+to be happy and enjoy even more happiness!" Pray too that they may use their
+wealth and power to help others, to serve the Dharma and the Sangha, making
+offerings, building monasteries, propagating the teachings and performing
+other worthwhile deeds.  Rejoice and make a wish: "May they never lost all
+their happiness and privileges.  May their happiness increase more and more,
+and may they use it to benefit others and to further the teachings."
+  Pray that your mind may be filled with boundless equanimity, loving-
+kindness, compassion and joy--as boundless as a Bodhisattva's.  If you do so,
+genuine bodhichitta will certainly grow within you.
+  The reason these four qualities are boundless, or immeasurable, is that
+their object--the totality of sentient beings--is boundless; their benefit--
+the welfare of all beings--is boundless; and also their fruit--the qualities
+of enlightenment--is boundless.  They are immeasurable like the sky, and they
+are the true root of enlightenment.(p.49)
