(Oleh Tsem Rinpoche) Beberapa dari kita melayani upaya-upaya egois diri sendiri, beberapa dari kita melayani orang lain, dan beberapa dari kita tidak melayani sama sekali. Apapun keadaannya saat ini, musuh utama adalah pikiran yang menginginkan kebahagiaan untuk diri sendiri dan bukan untuk orang lain. Ketika manusia, lingkungan, keadaan dan fasilitas hanya digunakan baik secara...

I post on many subjects. I post on my feelings, thoughts and what I’ve learned. I write what I see and it may not be what you see, but that is okay because diversity is so necessary. We can still be civil and polite in our differences with others. After all, things can change....
