Pema Chodron

"The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes."
- Pema Chodron

Peace

I feel very at peace now and i hope that moment doesn't pass too quickly. I'm watching "Seven Years in Tibet" and loving the way the portrayed His Holiness the Dalia Lama as a child! I've been studying the Dharma (teachings of the Buddha) for about a year now but I'm not ready to dive head first into the practice of Buddhism right now. I do call myself a "Buddhist" but its not true. So now, i just say i study the Dharma .


"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." ~ Buddha
