Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

RELATING TO OTHER

We are constantly trying to work out our relation to the other. It's like 
your dog meeting somebody else's dog. There is a growl, a sniff, a step 
forward, a potential rejection, or maybe an acceptance. That kind of thing 
is constantly taking place. Dogs do it very generously. As far as we human 
beings are concerned, obviously we are more subtle, but we are less 
generous because we have more "me." But still this process goes on 
constantly -- we do that when we confront our world.

 From "Me-ness and the Emotions," in THE PATH IS THE GOAL: A BASIC HANDBOOK 
OF BUDDHIST MEDITATION, pages 59 to 60.
