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.
— Albert Schweitzer

"Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are one".


Tiger Stream: "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are one".

Song Dynasty painting in the Litang style illustrating the theme: 


"Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are one". 

Depicts Taoist Lu Xiujing (left), official Tao Hongjing (right) and Buddhist monk Huiyuan (center, founder of Pure Land) by the Tiger stream. 

The stream borders a zone infested by tigers that they just crossed without fear, engrossed as they were in their discussion. 

Realising what they just did, they laugh together, hence the name of the picture,Three laughing men by the Tiger stream.
