Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
We can continue to learn generation after generation and now is time to begin to learn how to love in a non-discriminatory way because we are intelligent enough, but we are not loving enough as a species.
We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion's roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.
Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion - towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive.
