Forgiveness will not be possible until compassion is born in your heart.

It's wonderful to be alive and to walk on earth.

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart.

By taking a look at your anger it can be transformed into the kind of energy that you need - understanding and compassion.
