| Should we persist in our normal self-centered tendencies and behavior in spite of our human birth, we would be wasting a great opportunity. Our tenure in this world should not be that of a troublemaker in the human community. |

| After many centuries, those crescents yet unwaning shine, and count a devotee for every worshiper of yonder crosses. Truth and Merit have other symbols than success. |

| Quote of the moment |
| To overcome attachment we should meditate on the ugliness of what attracts us. The antidote to pride is meditation on the aggregates. To counteract ignorance we should concentrate on the movement of the breath and on interdependence. The root of the mind's turmoil is, in fact, ignorance on account of which we fail to understand the true nature of things. The mind is brought under control by purifying our mistaken notion of reality. |

| Quote of the moment |
| An area in Tibetan Buddhism which may be of interest to scientists is the relationship between the physical elements and the nerves, in particular the relationship between the elements in the brain and consciousness. Involved here are the changes in consciousness, happy or unhappy states of mind etc., the kind of effect they have on the elements within the brain, and the consequent effect that it has on the body. Certain physical illnesses, for example, improve or worsen according to the state of mind. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, October 2, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
