Cultivating compassion.
Cultivating loving kindness.
When we can focus on cultivating compassion and loving kindness in ourselves we will be able to create peace, joy and happiness in us and people around us.
We will be able to 'offer joy in the morning and reduce suffering in the afternoon' for ourselves and others.
'Peace in oneself, Peace in the world.'
Building peace through Compassion, Loving kindness, Joy and Equanimity (the four Immeasurable minds - the teaching of the Buddha)
May you be at peace.
May the Bell of Awakening ring in your heart.

Note: phrases in 'quotes' are from the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
