"Compassion is a mental quality that can..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.”

“Attachment constrains our vision so that we are not able to see things from a wider perspective.”

“To my mind, there are two things that, in life, you can do about death. Either you can choose to ignore it, in which case you may have some success in making the idea of it go away for a limited period of time, or you can confront the prospect of your own death and try to analyze it and, in so doing, try to minimize some of the inevitable suffering that it causes. Neither way can you actually overcome it.”

“I am conscious that meat eatingis not in accordance with the finer feelings,and I abstain from it whenever I can.”

“Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.”

“Have you ever noticed when you're in the presence of certain people that you feel better about yourself? Their compassionate energy has the noticeably pleasant impact of simply making you feel really good about yourself. You'll impact others with this energy of compassion as you develop your connection to intention.”

“Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man.”

“No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing.”

“Peace is its own reward.”
