Sangha of Auspicious Companions

Dalai Lama Quote of the Week

Bodhisattvas give solely out of concern for others, without a self-cherishing attitude. That is the proper way of giving. Courageous Bodhisattvas risk even their lives to help others, and so, when we are in relatively better, more comfortable situations, we must certainly practice giving. Even if they are threatened, the courageous ones will not engage in improper actions. Instead, after examining the situation carefully, when they find that certain actions are correct and justified, on the basis of reason, they engage in them even at the risk of their lives. That is the way of the decent, civilized and courageous ones, who do not follow misleading paths.(p.20)
