We start to see others with the same tenderness we long for ourselves.

Harming others, then, is often a reflection of how far we’ve drifted from the self-awareness that makes self-love possible.

What if we all softened a little more, with ourselves and one another? ✨🪷 (2/2)

Thank you, Angela! 😊🙏

Now if only some Buddhist traditions could apply this energy to, oh I don’t know, removing barriers to full ordination for women? Or removing those extra 100+ precepts nuns have to follow that monks don’t? 🤔

Or is 2025 still too soon? How much longer? Just wondering! 🤗🥰💕🪷✨
