"Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized,
and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The
tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant
with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I
would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be
treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion,
irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all
sacred."
~Thich
