Kindness

"It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us."

~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Compassion

"Practicing compassion, caring for others and sharing their problems, lays the foundation for a meaningful life, not only at the level of the individual, family or community, but also for humanity as a whole."

Live with Compassion


"Help FPMT's Sera Je Food Fund offer meals to the monks at Sera Je Monastery by purchasing the Live with Compassion Wristband.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche started the Sera Je Food Fund to provide three meals a day to the 2600 monks of Sera Je Monastery. We need to raise US$270,000 each year to cover the costs of feeding these precious practitioners and teachers of tomorrow.

By purchasing 1 Live with Compassion Wristbands you will offer food to 3 monks
By purchasing 5 Live with Compassion Wristbands you will offer food to 17 monks
By purchasing 10 Live with Compassion Wristbands you will offer food to 35 monks
See how amazing a small donation can do!

'Live with compassion.
Work with compassion.
Die with compassion.
Enjoy with compassion.
When problems come, experience them with compassion'"

To NYS Congressional Candidate, Jane Corwin

Hello,

I was wondering:

What is your position on Same-sex Marriage for NYS and/or the whole USA?
What is your position on Transgender Rights, esp. in the workplace?

I am neither a Democrat or Republican so I base my vote on my ethics, morals and the equality of all US citizens. I am tired of being a second class citizen when I was born in this country, pay my bills on time and pay my taxes.

Thank you.
