The Dalai Lama has said that if we have true compassion, our childeren will be educated, we will care for the earth, and for those who 'have not'.  He shared the practice below to increase loving and compassion in the world.  This seemed a good reminder to us at this time of year, so we share it with you:

• Spend 5 minute at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the same things (to be happy and loved) and we are all connected.

• Spend 5 minutes valuing yourself and others  Let go of judgements.  If the faces of the people you are having difficulty with appear, cherish them as well.

• During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet - we are all connected, we all want to be loved and to be happy.
