Buddha Set

[SantaRich]

I posted a thread a few hours ago about some of this but I thought perhaps it would be a great contribution to a Buddha set. That is, being positive, attracting positive energy/luck, giving positive energy to the universe/doing positive things for others, and being presented with positive experiences. And also using a subliminal to make your mind 'magnetic' using Law of Attraction, that anything you want can be manifested through your mind.

Only positive things are manifested

Neither happiness nor unhappiness is contained in the event itself.

- Zen and the Art of Happiness

Positivity, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Take for example someone who hates their job and is an inch away from quitting, when all of a sudden they get a raise. That might seem like a positive thing, but maybe in the long run it was a negative.

"Zen is simply...that state of centeredness which is here and now".

-Alan Watts

To use the word positive or negative is to divide the energy that simply is. To say you want to receive love to is to say that you are not receiving love. If that makes any sense, on my limited experience of zen. I think it is more a state of mind, that involves non-judgment, non-labeling, detachment,clear mind.
And some times positive things for others can not always have that outward appearance. I took a yoga course a few years back, and was talking to the instructor. He was telling me how yoga got him into spirituality and meditation. He related a certain story about how during a meditation he asked to be given help on becoming more patient. So a few days later he was sweeping the sidewalk in front of his house or store or whatever, and someone walked past and spit where he was sweeping. He got upset and was about to go say something to the person when it dawned on him, maybe this was the universe's way of giving him what he wanted. So instead of being angry, he was grateful and happy.

Excellent book by the way, Zen and the Art of Happiness. Just my two cents, I could be wrong
