Gelek Rimpoche Quotes

Ego's trick is to make us lose sight of our interdependence. That kind of ego-thought gives us a perfect justification to look out only for ourselves. But that is far from the truth. In reality we all depend on each other and we have to help each other. The husband has to help his wife, the wife has to help the husband, the mother has to help her children, and the children are supposed to help the parents too, whether they want to or not.

• Go around - listen to how many times a day you say, 'I love' instead of, 'I hate.'

Maybe if they heard more of 'I love, I love, I love' they'd hear it sooner and more often.
