Compassionate at Heart

"If you have never known longing, how could you know the ache of longing?"

"Let the mind arise without abiding anywhere." The monk in his kasaya held one palm upright before his chest.

Many years later, Shen Yu looked at the Buddha statue on the altar, its face serene and eyes full of compassion, and pressed her palms together in a bow.

She said, "May the Buddha be merciful."
