[the Dalai Lama ] Says Western Traditions

Not Many Years Ago, It Was Access To Information And Movement That Seemed Our Greatest Luxury; Nowadays It’s Often Freedom From Information, The Chance To Sit Still, That Feels Like The Ultimate Prize. Stillness Is Not Just An Indulgence For Those With Enough Resources – It’s A Necessity For Anyone Who Wishes To Gather Less Visible Resources.

Any School Would Gain, If The Students Began The Day With Meditation, Cleared Their Heads And Got Themselves Centered.
