Quote of the day

Do all you can with all that you have, in the time that you have, in the place that you are.
- Author Unknown

If we make our goal to live
a life of compassion and unconditional love,
then the world will indeed
become a garden
where all kindsof flowers
can bloom and grow.

- Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross,
Author of On Death and Dying

From Cheri Huber to her students:
"Recently a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism passed along the information to me, via a third party, that what we do is not Buddhism. I was shocked. It isn’t?
