As you breathe in cherish yourself. As you breathe out cherish all beings.

~ HH The 14th Dalai Lama

a beneficial contemplation for ourselves:

what does it look like to cherish oneself?

what does it look like to cherish the life of others? how far does that cherishing of other life extend?

how are these two – cherishing oneself and cherishing others – related and how do they act in relationship to one another?

can we think of examples of where we see cherishing of self and others out into action?
