We were blessed to attend the Seeds of Compassion event today
featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
It was a very moving and touching day for us.
He spoke on compassion, nurturing and loving,
and understanding that we are all one,
that there is no 'us' or 'they'.
We really like his point he made about how the leaders
of the world today should all get together,
with their families and children,
and spend at least two weeks getting to know
one another as human beings and not discussing
politics or world issues.
Then after that time spent getting to know each other,
then speak of the issues and see how the compassion unfolds.
He addressed the fact that most, if not all, of the problems
in the world today are man-made.
Violence is not the answer to "fix" these problems,
but open dialogue and understanding with compassion.
His words, and the event as a whole, will stay with us forever.
He spoke of many ways to incorporate compassion into your
daily life and the world as a whole,
that we recommend watching the coverage of the events.
Especially if you have children, or children in your life,
it will be a blessing to them!
Remember, they are the future of our world.
What they learn from you, from us, and from the world
around them today will mold their values and how they
interact with the world around them.
