Quote

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

We have to bring the humanity and compassion back.

I should like to think that we'll find peace on this Earth at some point and come to a collective consciousness of compassion for each other, where we say, 'Enough! Let us live as one!'

We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.

We are all human beings, part of the human race, and we need to be compassionate and giving and kind with one another.

We must teach compassion and tolerance and encourage kindness, selflessness, and loving acceptance of all who are created in the image of God.

What we really need is compassion of the mind - compassion for others that is directed intelligently and produces truly compassionate results.

We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life.

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.

Let us not seek to bring religion to others, but let us endeavor to live it ourselves.
