“Beginning anew is an inside job. Healing relationships has little to do with what others say or do. The true heart of reconciliation is within us. It is a relief to finally realize that the gateways to peace and reconciliation have been right here all along. Thay often said, 'Brotherhood, sisterhood, and siblinghood always begin with oneself. Compassion always begins with oneself. The question is whether you are practicing.' Our tendency is to focus on what others say or do, but turning the spotlight around is how real transformation takes place.”
