" I consider human affection, or compassion, to be the universal religion. whether a believer or a nonbeliever, everyone needs human affection and compassion, because compassion gives us inner strength, hope and mental peace. thus, it is indispensable for everyone."

Re: the art of good will
Wed, November 26, 2008 - 3:58 PMThat's as good as his:
Never Give up
No matter what is going on
Never Give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
but to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
and I say again
Never Give up
No matter what is happening
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up
--H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama -
