| It is essential to die unreconciled and not of one's own free will. Suicide is a repudiation. The absurd man can only drain everything to the bitter end, and deplete himself. The absurd is his extreme tension, which he maintains constantly by solitary effort, for he knows that in that consciousness and in that day-to-day revolt he gives proof of his only truth, which is defiance. This is a first consequence. |

| Quote of the moment |
| When we talk of the six perfections - generosity, ethical discipline, patience, perseverance, concentration, and wisdom - they can also be found in other non-bodhisattva practitioners who are working more toward their own individual liberation. What makes the practice of these six factors perfect is the motivation involved. In order for one's practice of patience to be a practice of the perfection of practice, you need the motivation which is bodhicitta. If your practice is motivated by bodhicitta - the aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all - then your practice becomes truly a practice of perfection. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, June 25, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
