ombuddha: Our exaggerated sense of self and our compulsion to find happiness for this larger-than-life self we have fabricated cause us to ignore, neglect and harm others. Of course, it is our right to love and take care of ourselves, but not at the expense of others. While ‘As long as I’m alright’ is our motto, we have no hesitation in acting with total disregard for others. Geshe Sonam Rinchen. Photo by prayforsnow.
