Cultivating Understanding
The
important mindfulness practice of cultivating understanding means first
of all understanding suffering: the suffering inside us and the
suffering of others. A human being without understanding is a human
being without compassion, utterly alone, cut off, and isolated. To
connect with others, however, we first have to be willing to look deeply
into ourselves.
— Thích Nhất Hạnh
