"Choose compassion. We do not know what pain others carry, what losses they have faced, or how hard they are trying to survive. Compassion does not mean agreement. It means not adding more pain. A compassionate world does not abandon the weak and does not create more suffering."

-Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara at the Lincoln Memorial, Walk for Peace, Day 109 (2/11/2026)
