Great Compassion





Truly recognize your own faults;
Do not speak of the faults of others.
Others' faults are just your own.
Being one with everything is called Great Compassion.

~Flower Adornment Sutra (Avatamsaka)

A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated — this is the greatest blessing.  ~Guatama Buddha
