Out Of Connection, Love And Compassion Arise

Without the rigidity of concepts, the world becomes transparent and illuminated, as though lit from within.

With this understanding, the interconnectedness of all that lives becomes very clear.

We see that nothing is stagnant and nothing is fully separate, that who we are, what we are, is intimately woven into the nature of life itself.

Out of this sense of connection, love and compassion.’- Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness

You Are Not Alone

‘When we center our attention solely on ourselves, our heart-mind becomes narrow, mistakenly believing that we are isolated, independent, and solid.

We forget that we are interconnected with other people, animals, the environment,

and our communities.

To have compassion and loving-kindness is to recognize and strengthen our connection with other living beings.’

– Phakchok Rinpoche & Sophie Wu, Awakening Dignity: A Guide to Living a Life of Deep Fulfillment
