See with your heart

Watching flowers bloom all around us

When we see the Beloved in each person, it's like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.

Get ourselves in the present moment.

"The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life."

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business

"Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival."

- Dalai Lama XIV

Compassion brings peace of mind.

"Compassion brings peace of mind. It brings a smile to the face.
Education needs not only to develop our intelligence, but also to support the basic human values of warm-heartedness and compassion. These are not qualities confined to the religious, because we all want peace of mind. And if we remember that others too are human beings like us. we can extend a sense of kindness even towards those we think of as enemies."

- Dalai Lama XIV
