A Bit of Budda

“The Bodhisattva is like the mightiest of warriors
But his enemies are not the common foes of flesh and bone.
His fight is with the inner delusions,
The afflictions of selfishness and ego-grasping...
He is the real hero, calmly facing any hardship
In order to bring peace, happiness, and liberation into the world..”
~ The Thirteenth Dalai Lama (1876-1933)
