Effective way to make resolutions

Luang Por Wat Paknam taught me that the most effective way to make fruitful resolutions was to make them while monks were bestowing their blessings. When they begin a blessing chant, from the first word, ?Yadha?,? focus your mind to the center of the body and visualize a clear Buddha image. Then begin making your resolutions. Luang Por explained that this will make our resolutions become a part of their blessings, which will be heard all the way to Nibbana. So make your resolutions with care. Each time you do it, it will get easier and easier until it becomes second nature to you.
