Quote of the Day

“Where would I possibly find enough leather with which to cover the surface of the earth? But (just) leather on the soles of my shoes is equivalent to covering the earth with it. Likewise it is not possible for me to restrain the external course of things but should I restrain this mind of mine what would be the need to restrain all else?”
Shantideva
