Thank You M. Bayne

The Buddha had learned how to turn the stream of compassion within. 

But how does one love themselves? 

How does one give oneself the benefit of the doubt?  

Its all a mirror, and how you treat yourself and how you treat other people is identical. The love and affection that you have for other people is only as much as you can afford for yourself.

And when it happens, it's indescribable, something so simple as accepting yourself, turning the stream of compassion within, yet it's such a powerful gift. And not to just myself but to all those now I come in contact with.
