"The essence of Buddhism
is kindness, compassion. This is the essence of every religion, but particularly
in Mahayana Buddhism. When we grow up, we grow up in the kindness
of our parents, and without that sort of kindness we cannot exist. This
is very clear because today you find that children who are not brought
up within the love of their parents, or where there is a disruption in
the family, are later psychologically affected. If you have this basic
quality of kindness or good heart, then all other things, education, ability
will go in the right direction." - The Dalai Lama
