quote of the day may: on compassion

Three lovely quotes from the Dalai Lama

"True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason."
*
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
*
"True compassion is universal in scope. It is accompanied by a feeling of responsibility."
