macdobhran: Whoop Ass (Dalai Lama)
The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered as art, one's life is art. I am not interested in the physical aspect of art. I simply meditate and train my mind. And as far as external appearance is concerned, nature in its pristine form is also art.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Dreams are an idea of the mind. There are no tangible objects beneath these sole appearances. Similarly, self and others, Samsara and Nirvana, are designated by the name and the knowledge about them. Thus, there is no inherent existence of any object.

Great compassion and wisdom are the chief qualities of the Buddha. Even in worldly terms, the more intelligent and knowledgeable a person is, the more the person commands respect. Similarly, the more compassionate, kind, and gentle a person, the more he or she should be respected. So if you are able to develop that intelligence and altruism to their fullest extent, then you are truly admirable and deserve to be respected.
