an old path for a new era…

So many ideas of what is right and wrong, good and bad, and we love to think we are in the right camp, the good camp. Perhaps the better questions are: What is kind? What is generous? What is compassionate? What is beneficial to the world and does not add suffering? This is the path we can dedicate our lives to in the short time we are here. A path of non-harming, of loving-kindness, of empathy and peace. A path of compassionate action.

a wise and beneficial birthday message/gift for us from His Holiness The Dalai Lama on his birthday.
HH Dalai Lama Birthday Message
on a side note: yesterday i had the great pleasure of seeing His Holiness give a public talk in the afternoon around noon. you know what time he got up that day? 1am. at 80 years old and after a full day the previous day, he got up at 1am for his 4 hours of prayers and meditation, then spoke at a breakfast, did interviews, had lunch, and then gave a public talk that went until 3:30pm. he had energy, humor and clarity while delivering a much needed message on compassion, education and art. so impressive and generous! happy birthday your Holiness, deep bows of gratitude and a vow to contribute to this compassion movement!!

“Ultimately, there is light and love and intelligence in this universe. And we are it, we carry that within us, its not just something out there, it is within us and this is what we are trying to re-connect with, our original light and love and intelligence.” ~ Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
