Pema Chodron For Quotations

Compassion for others begins with kindness to ourselves.

In order to have compassion for others, we have to have compassion for ourselves.

What you do for yourself, you're doing for others, and what you do for others, you're doing for yourself.

Searching for happiness prevents us from ever finding it.

As we learn to have compassion for ourselves, the circle of compassion for others - what and whom we can work with, and how - becomes wider.
