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."

Kathi Passed Away

Kathi Brezeale died last night, at the very nice hospice facility where she spent her last few days.

I am glad that I got to see her yesterday, even though she had her eyes closed the whole time. She was comfortable and peaceful, and her family was very happy with the care they all got at Evergreen.

They say that hearing is the last sense power to go, which is good because her friends and family were exchanging lovely stories about Kathi, and there was even a lot of laughter. I am so glad I got to meet her family. I am sad about Kathi, but could feel all the love coming her way.

Please make prayers especially for her family: her partner, Jon, her brother and sisters, and her parents.

Here is one more photo of her - the one she used on the website of the university where she was a professor of religion and women's studies:
