 A Meaningful Life
A meaningful life must also answer the question, “What have I brought to the world?” If I can look at a day and see that virtue, happiness, truth, and living an altruistic life are prominent elements, I can say, “You know, I’m a happy camper.” Pursuing happiness does not depend on my checkbook, or the behavior of my spouse, or my job, or my salary. I can live a meaningful life even if I only have ten minutes left. – B. Alan Wallace, “What Is True Happiness?” |

 Necessary Closeness
It is not sufficient merely to see that sentient beings are suffering. You must also develop a sense of closeness with them, a sense that they are dear. With that combination–seeing that people suffer and thinking of them as dear–you can develop compassion. – Jeffrey Hopkins, “Everyone as a Friend” |
