But he who dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.

Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches.

The bodhisattva ideal begins with the smallest acts motivated by concern for others. This feeling, this wish to be more kind and helpful, is the beginning of the bodhisattva path itself, and the treading of this path—for most of us, for most of our practice-lives—will mainly consist of small acts of kindness and concern, brief moments of putting others before ourselves.
Let the waves of the universe rise and fall as they will. You have nothing to gain or lose. You are the ocean.
