Pace e Bene – 4 June 2024

“If someone greets me with a nice smile and expresses a genuinely friendly attitude, I appreciate it very much. Though I may not know that person or even understand their language, my heart is instantly gladdened. On the other hand, if kindness is lacking, even in someone from my own culture whom I have known for many years, I feel it. Kindness and love, these are very precious.”—HH The Dalai Lama, How to Be Compassionate
