  2. We are the human family

    76

    I have written the above lines
    To tell my constant feeling.
    Whenever I meet even a ‘foreigner’,
    I have always the same feeling:
    ‘I am meeting another member of the human family.,
    This attitude has deepened
    My affection and respect for all beings.
    May this natural wish be
    My small contribution to world peace.
    I pray for a more friendly,
    More caring, and more understanding
    Human family on this planet.
    To all who dislike suffering,
    Who cherish lasting happiness –
    This is my heartfelt appeal.

    ~Dalai Lama

    When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel. ~ Rabbi Harold Kushner

  5. A Weapon my Masters gave me

    27
    Compassion is the Weapon given by my Masters
    They taught me to be like the Earth
    Calm, kind, patient, and compassionate
    Willing to accept both pleasant & unpleasant words.
    Earth remains calm and neutral, with open heart.
    Masters said, “Little girl, take care of this weapon
    and not a single moment, lose it to the so-called enemies.” ~Jendhamuni

  6. The message they are sending

    10

    When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending. ~Thích Nhat Hạnh
  7. How to Live a Happy Life

    14

    Make negativity a NO-NO
    Turn your to-do list into an adventure, without letting negativity get in your way. Push all doubts to the side and write down your thoughts and feelings. ~Rules to be Happy
