November 11th
In Remembrance of
Those Who Died for Us

"Whatever joy

there is in this

world

All comes from desiring others to be happy,

And whatever suffering there is in this world

All comes from desiring myself to be happy."

- Shantideva

Lest We Forget

Troops, no longer

preparing for war,

form an eight-rayed star and rotate to the left. This image

perhaps indicates that some inner conflict has given way to

harmony.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a
hot coal with the intent of throwing it
at someone else; you are the one
getting burned".

- Buddah
