Sorry:  another repeater today.  But, it’s the big man himself:  His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whom I previously highlighted in one of the early “A Gift of Dharma” posts.  Here’s the quote–a poem entitled “Never Give Up” by His Holiness and given to Ron Whitehead, who has allowed it to be shared anywhere:

Never give up
No matter what is going on
Never give up

Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Develop the heart

Be compassionate

Not just with your friends
But with everyone

Be compassionate

Work for peace
In your heart
And in the world
Work for peace

And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up
