COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

One Mountain, Different Paths





"Since all things revolve around a common Love, the heavens and earth are made of One substance." - Zhuangzi

"When one contemplates things, everything is revealed as One." - Zohar

"The Beloved is all in all; the lover merely veils Him; The Beloved is all that lives." - Rumi

“Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.” - Buddha

"When the Ten Thousand things are viewed in their oneness, we return to the Origin and remain where we have always been." - Sen T'sen

“Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.” - Buddha

“Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.” -- Buddha

Holding a grudge is like holding a hot coal with the intent of burning your enemy with it later to get even for his insult.
