Happiness...

"It is clear that feelings of love, affection, closeness and compassion bring happiness. I believe that every one of us has the means to be happy, to access the warm and compassionate states of mind that bring happiness. In fact, it is one of my fundamental beliefs that not only do we inherently possess the potential for compassion, but I believe that the basic or underlying nature of human beings is gentleness."
~Dalai Lama

I hope this is true, Teacher. So far, I have found gentleness to be a rare quality among human beings.

Namaste, Teacher. Thank you for the lesson.
