The world will be balanced when we are balanced.
-Tarthang Tulku

I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.
-Colette
That which gives pleasure to one man gives pain to another. That sage who identifies himself with the imperishable Self and stands as a spectator of the mental modifications enjoys supreme peace and infinite bliss.

animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
-Deep Trivedi
