Though the Dalai Lama seems to have given this message for those dreading Mr. Trump's 4 years in the White House, it is equally applicable to those of us who have bigger things to worry about than the next US President. I especially liked the bit about self-compassion, which I practically seem to have none. Of course, I haven't minded it all these years because the line dividing self-compassion and self-pity is a thin one. But this article did force me to rethink. It also reminded me that a visit to Leh-Ladakh and Bhutan is long overdue. I must do it this year.
