Quote of the Month
"When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions shoud express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept.
We practise in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable"
(Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh)
