These words are not my own, but they are important to me, especially today.
"To behave with Buddhist compassion is to be mindful of the feelings of those who are struggling. It is to do whatever we can to alleviate, even a little, the pain of those whose hearts are filled with sorrow, despairing over life's bitter challenges. It is to give hope to those who are trying their hardest in difficult circumstances. It is to impart courage to those who are stuck and unable to find a way forwards. And it is to teach, show, and awaken others to the fact that they possess within them the power to overcome every problem, and enable them to actually tap that power.". ---daisaku ikeda
