From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Imagine! The iron in our blood and planet both came from a dying star. A sun! We consist of that.
Imagine! The light in our eyes, the Bodhicitta, the sweetness of love, this is the essence of Primordial Nature; Buddhahood!
Just suppose we were fully awake – would we see that we are the seed, the path and the fruit? We are the gift to be given.
If we could abandon pride and ego would we finally be the light of the world? What stops us from turning it over?
If we knew the future Buddha to be in the far future would we follow the Buddha Dharma without snark, do our best?
If we for some reason experienced hatred and judgment can we still keep the commitment? Can we still love?
As His Holiness the Dalai Lama says, can we see those who make war with us as a blessing? If we contemplate Karma we can. All arises within mind.
If we treat animals and sentient beings as inferior we demonstrate that we are dull in our practice and have poor qualities.
Today I saw Jada, my sweet Queen Pekinese has cataracts and is nearly deaf. Impermanence is happening now. Commit virtue!
I respect, love, cherish and would do anything for those who love and respect those less fortunate than us!

Thank you Jetsunma. May compassion prevail in every atom of our hearts until the darkness is vanquished.
