To The Mist That Refreshes Me All Days, My Love Always, Namaste, Miguel

We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.

~The Dalai Lama

Change is Inevitable

As Buddhists, we work to accept the impermanence and inevitable decay of the physical body. But it’s not enough to accept it as a fact; we can believe in this and still not want it in plain sight. Nagarjuna said, “Change makes all things possible.” It is only because of change that suffering can end—and it is because of change that our bodies fall apart, like all compounded things. We cannot have one without the other, but we try.

- Sallie Tisdale, "Washing out Emptiness,"

The happy heart gives away the best. To know how to receive is also a most important gift, which cultivates generosity in others and keeps strong the cycle of life.

Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and
beauty, a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin.
