Thank you, I love the Dalai Lama and many Buddhist teachings.
Have you read any of Pema Chodron's books? (forgive me if I have asked you this before). She is an American Buddhist nun and she writes about one book a year. I love to read them; they are wise, thought-provoking like your post, and so gentle that I relax reading them. You can find them and order them at
www.shambhala.com .
Thank you again for your post!
