Since patience or tolerance comes from an ability to remain firm and steadfast and not be overwhelmed by the adverse situations or conditions that one faces, one should not see tolerance or patience as a kind of weakness, or giving in, but rather as a sign of strength, coming from a deep ability to remain firm.
*** We are all equal now, members of one and the same family, and the affairs of the entire world are now internal affairs *** In one sense one could define compassion as the feeling of unbearableness at the sight of other people's suffering, other sentient beings' suffering. True compassion implies the wish to put an end to others' suffering and a sense of responsibility for those who suffer. *** Whether talking about individuals or governments, the principle that must guide us is that of human rights. If we live in a country where human rights exist and are respected, we are naturally responsible for our duties and responsibilities. - Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhist Monk Comments are closed.
