| Quote of the moment |
| Look at one person who annoys you, and use the opportunity to counter your own anger and cultivate compassion. But if the annoyance is too powerful - if you find the person so repulsive that you cannot bear to be in his or her presence - it may be better to look for the exit! Here is the principle: It is better not to avoid events or persons who annoy you, who give rise to anger, if your anger is not too strong. But if the encounter is not possible, work on your anger and develop compassion by yourself. |

| Quote of the moment |
| A skilled physician ministers to his patients individually, giving each the appropriate medicine necessary to cure his particular disease. Furthermore, the method and materials of treatment will vary according to the particular combination of circumstances of time and country. Yet all the widely differing medicines and medical methods are similar in that each of them aims to deliver the suffering patient from his sickness. In the same way, all religious teachings and methods are intended to free living beings from misery and the cause of misery and to provide them with happiness and the cause of happiness. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 31, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
