“Without a sense of equanimity, unbiased love and compassion cannot even get started.” – Dalai Lama

When our hearts are in turmoil, is it really possible to give love and compassion unconditionally? In order to give freely of our selves and our spirits, we must find a way to quiet this ‘innermost storm.’

“In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.” ― Dalai Lama XIV
