Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals.
Pema ChodronFew of us are satisfied with retreating from the world and just working on ourselves. We want our training to manifest and to be of benefit. The bodhisattva-warrior, therefore, makes a vow to wake up not just for himself but for the welfare of all beings.
Pema ChodronWe're not trying to be something we aren't; rather, we're reconnecting with who we are.
