+Love is about finding something pleasant in everyone.  It can't be external
+appearance, or what the person is engaged in at the moment; it has to be just
+the fact that this is a sentient being who wants happiness and does not want
+suffering and who has been the best of friends at some time in the limitless
+past.  A Tibetan definition of love is that the person pleasantly comes to
+mind (yid du 'ong ba).  Rather than pushing people away, you experience a core
+similarity and closeness in them that makes you receptive to their basic
+being, regardless of the problem--regardless of how distorted their current
+attitudes and behavior are.  That's how strong spiritual love is.
+  -- Jeffrey Hopkins, from "A Truthful Heart: Buddhist Practices for
+     Connecting with Others", Shambhala Publications

+Organization) to a new acronym using "Cost center, Activity, Program, Spend
+category" or... CAPS!!!
