Dalai Lama Wisdom

Something that the Dalai Lama shared this after noon in Seattle that I find poingnent:

The Dalai Lama says the difference between limited compassion and unlimited compassion is that the first is biased, the second is not.
His point is that you can't be compassionate only toward people you like, or toward people in your religion, or toward just your countrymen — that's cheating.
You must be compassionate toward people you don't know or even like. You must be compassionate toward people whose ideas you don't agree with, toward people whose lives you find abhorrent, he says.

I'm sure there is more to come!
