The Dalai Lama has said that “compassion occurs only between equals.”
The capacity for everything resides within each of us.
The moment I have the thought that I am “better than, smarter than or more important than, my ability to be of actual use is gone.”
Will I look today at the capacity in all people?

If we use the Judeo-Christian story of CREATION, one cell from Adam, one from Eve, creating a single cell and thus evolved the whole human race. If we use DARWIN, from humans, back to mammals, birds, reptiles, eventually to the Amoeba, a single cell, and thus the human race. No ...

See and observe those who approach each person with love, kindness and compassion.
Perhaps our greatest service is simply to find ways to strengthen and live closer to our goodness. This is far from easy. It requires an everyday attention, an awareness of all that diminishes us, distracts us, and causes us to forget who we are. But every act of service bears witness to the possibility of freedom for us all. And every time anyone becomes more transparent to the light in them, they will restore the light in the world.
Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.
