Be Compassionate

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike;
each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

Gautama Buddha

*

You have no compassion; the Lord's Light does not shine in you.
You are drowned, drowned in worldly entanglements.

Guru Granth Sahib

*

We are ready to become the people we are meant to be.
None of us can afford to squander our days, our years,
or our lives. We have too much to give; we have too much to live.

Lama Surya Das

*

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

Thich Nhat Hanh

*

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Henry W Beecher

*

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling
what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin.
It is the knowledge that there can never really be
any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
