For the New Year

今日届いたDeva & Mittenのmonthly news letterの中にあったダライ・ラマ法王のメッセージ。simple but very powerful...

No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up.

HH the XIV Dalai Lama
