Pema Chodron

One of my favorite Buddhist authors is Pema Chodron. She writes a lot about Buddhist thought. I really enjoyed her book When Things Fall Apart.

In my collection of her work is a set of cards that are to be drawn and have a thought for the day.
The one I drew today:

"Don't seek others' pain as the limbs of your own happiness."

It's the sort of quote that seems to speak both to the peace inside ourselves and making our peace with others. Something to think about for the day.
