| Quote of the moment |
| Ordinary compassion and love give rise to a very close feeling, but it is essentially attachment. As long as the other person appears to you as beautiful or good, love remains, but as soon as he or she appears to you as less beautiful or good, your love completely changes. Even though your dear friend is the same person, he feels more like an enemy. Instead of love, you now feel hostility. With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no effect on your attitude. Real compassion comes from seeing the other's suffering. You feel a sense of responsibility and you want to do something for him or her. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, November 26, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered as art, one's life is art. I am not interested in the physical aspect of art. I simply meditate and train my mind. And as far as external appearance is concerned, nature in its pristine form is also art. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 11, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Some people, sweet and attractive, and strong and healthy, happen to die young. They are masters in disguise teaching us about impermanence. |
