A Gift of Dharma for 7.14.10

Today’s quote is another from my great spiritual friend Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, whom I first quoted and wrote a short biography for in this post.  This is it:

Knowledge and compassion are the basis to which the word Buddhism refers. Whoever trains themselves in knowledge and compassion will be in harmony with others both right now and ultimately. This is an indisputable truth. All of us should try our best to study about knowledge and compassion, next to reflect upon them, but especially to gain direct insight within ourselves. That brings immense benefit.
