*Kornfield, Jack. A Path with Heart. (New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1993)."To stop the war and come into the present is to discover a greatness of our own heart that can include the happiness of all beings that is inseparable from our own. When we let ourselves feel the fear, the discontent, the difficulties we have always avoided, our heart softens. Just as it is a courageous act to face all the difficulties from which we always run, it is also an act of compassion. According to Buddhist scriptures, compassion is the 'quivering of pure heart.'" (p. 27)
