A common space for harmonic peacemakers

“change of heart”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been telling us for some time, “compassion, loving kindness, and altruism are the keys not only to human development, but also to planetary survival. Real change in the world will only come from a change of heart.” Even if leaders are not listening, we can set examples through our behavior backed by a genuine motivation of compassion. These examples of compassion in action are like the ripples produced from one stone thrown in the pond. They radiate out and have far and wide effects, both seen and unseen. Compassion means recognizing the suffering of others. Having concern for their well being. And acting accordingly when we have the chance. Please, let’s have a “change of heart” and practice compassion as much as possible. The six perfections of giving, integrity, patience, perseverance, concentration, and wisdom are our guides. Love our whales on international whale day. Emaho!
