i stumbled across this while checking out a zen website...


As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as
anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness.

 I was fortunate enough to see & hear the Dalai Lama speak in Portland, Oregon back in the '90's. He was promoting world peace and his book "The Policy of Kindness". There were many Monks there, and they made a bunch of Mandalas out of sand, they were beautiful.

 He is a very wise man.
