This is how we come to the powerful realisation that the role of other sentient beings is essential in all areas of our mundane and spiritual activities. -- H.H. the Dalai Lama +~ + To avoid being hurt by thorns and brambles, we might consider covering all +the mountains with leather. That would be impossible, but putting on shoes +would serve the same purpose. Similarly, if we tried to subdue all our outer +enemies, we would never succeed. Once one was eliminated, another would rise +against us. While doing this, our anger would continue to breed new foes. +The only way to overcome our enemies is to turn inward and kill the real one, +which is our own hatred. + -- Ringu Tulku, from "Daring Steps: Traversing the Path of the Buddha", + edited and translated by Rosemarie Fuchs.
