The core teaching of
Buddhism is to help people become less self-centered and learn how to give love
to others.
--Lama Surya Dass, as

Quote of the Week #115 - On Dialogue
I believe we can change the world if we
start listening to one another again. Simple, honest, human conversation. Not
mediation, negotiation, problem–solving, debate, or public meetings, Simple,
truthful conversation where we each have a chance to speak, we each feel hear,
and we each listen well…
Human conversation is the most ancient and easiest way to cultivate the conditions for change—personal change, community and organizational change, planetary change. If we can sit together and talk about what is important to us, we begin to come alive. We share what we see, what we feel, and we listen to what others see and feel.
