Quote of the Day:
You can give people money or food and help them for a while. You can give them an education and help them for one life. But if you give them an opportunity to really meet with their mind – to understand that their mind is indestructible space – you help them for life, for death, what comes after death and for all future lives.
Kalu Rinpoche
