“Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar,” says Bradley Millar. This is at the heart of Buddhist teachings on compassion. As you travel through life, offer good wishes to each being you meet. In 2016, an international collection of Buddhist monks on Prince Edward Island bought 600lbs of lobster and took them out to sea, as an exercise in cultivating compassion, even for the least among us. The calligraphy is the Chinese character for compassion and should remind you to be kind, whenever possible. And as the Dalai Lama says, “It is always possible.”
