Lama Surya Das

I love Diversity. It's really hard for me to understand "hating" someone because they're unlike you.  My eyes have been opened, I've been taught that there is a whole world full of differences, and that we are all interconnected. I've been reading a book lately, written by Lama Surya Das (in the video above), Awakening the Buddhist Heart, it talks a lot about interconnectedness, karma, loving yourself just as you are, and loving others just as they are. Currently I'm in the third chapter, but already I can sense a change in my though patterns, behaviors, and feelings. I encourage everyone to read this wonderful work of love.

Until then,
