Two of my favorite words, put together in my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving.
Hope you all enjoyed your feast, in the company of treasured family and friends. I also hope you reflected on all the good things in your life and developed a wish to pass something on to others.
Now we're into the Season of Giving. Remember that you don't have to give an expensive present - you can give yourself. You can give your time, you can give your kind thoughts ...
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
