The Real Test Of Compassion Is Not

In Twenty Years' Time I'll Be Eighty-three, Just An Old Man With A Stick Moving Like A Sloth Bear. While I'm Alive, I Am Fully Committed To Autonomy, And I Am The Person Who Can Persuade The Tibetan People To Accept It.

If We Choose An External Marker As The Measure Of Our Inner Worth, Whether It Is The Amount Of Money We Make, Or Others' Opinion Of Us, Or The Success Of Some Project We're Involved In, Sooner Or Later We're Bound To Be Battered By Life's Inevitable Changes. After All, Money Comes And Goes, And Thus Is An Unstable Source Of Self-esteem, An Unreliable Foundation Upon Which To Build Our Identity.

Since We Desire The True Happiness That Is Brought About By A Calm Mind, And Such Peace Of Mind Arises Only From Having A Compassionate Attitude, We Need To Make A Concerted Effort To Develop Compassion.

Anger, Hatred, Fear, Is Very Bad For Our Health

Ultimately, The Human Being Is In The Mercy Of Nature.
