In being...

It is important to recognize the power of our emotions--and to take responsibility for them by creating a light and positive atmosphere around ourselves. This attitude of joy that we create helps alleviate states of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. Our relationships with others thus naturally improve, and little by little the whole of society becomes more positive and balanced.
-- Tarthang Tulku

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
-- Buddha
