Compassion and Concern for others! – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

“Some people mistakenly conclude that cultivating compassion is all about others’ benefit, whereas the first benefit is to us. Compassion brings us peace of mind. It attracts friends. Friends are based on trust and trust develops when we show concern for others.”

His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

Illegal Israeli immigrants burn Palestinian crops – UPI.com

A group of illegal Israeli immigrants to Palestine have burned crops on land near the town of Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus, the head of the village council Hafez Saleh has said.
