"As long as we regard ourselves as superior to others or look down upon the world, we cannot make any real progress. As soon, however, as we understand that we live in exactly the world which we deserve, we shall recognize the faults of others as our own-though they may appear in different form. It is our own 'karma' that we live in this 'imperfect' world, which in the ultimate sense is our own creation."
Tomo Geshe Rimpoche, 1925, Tibet
