Those who cultivate compassion can give what is difficult to give;
can tolerate patiently what is difficult to tolerate;
and can do what is difficult to do.
Compassion is the root of all virtue.
—Buddha Shakyamuni, Sutra of Lay Morality

Mistaking the false for the true
and the true for the false,
you overlook the heart
and fill yourself with desire.
See the false as false,
and the true as true.
Look into your heart.
Follow your nature.
