 We are the curiosity, compassion and intelligence within. Authentic being is the awareness that is aware of it all.

 Ahimsa is a comprehensive principle. We are helpless mortals caught in the conflagration of himsa. The saying that life lives on life has a deep meaning in it. Man cannot for a moment live without consciously or unconsciously committing outward himsa. The very fact of his living – eating, drinking and moving about – necessarily involves some himsa, destruction of life, be it ever so minute. A votary of ahimsa therefore remains true to his faith if the spring of all his actions is compassion, if he shuns to the best of his ability the destruction of the tiniest creature, tries to save it, and thus incessantly strives to be free from the deadly coil of himsa. He will be constantly growing in self-restraint and compassion, but he can never become entirely free from outward himsa.

 A poor man asked the Buddha,
“Why am I so poor?” The Buddha said, “You did not learn to give.” So the poor man said, “But, if I don’t have anything to give?” The Buddha said, “You have a few things: The Face, which can give a smile; The Mouth, you can praise or comfort others; The Heart, it can open up to others; The Eyes, they can look at the other with the eyes of compassion; The Body, which can be used to help others.” – H.E. Tulku Yeshi Rinpoche, Bodhi Tree Leaf |
