OUR ROLE"When I was a novice, I could not understand why, if theworld is filled with suffering, the Buddha has such abeautiful smile. Why isn’t he disturbed by all the suffering?Later I discovered that the Buddha has enoughunderstanding, calm, and strength; that is why thesuffering does not overwhelm him. He is able to smile tosuffering because he knows how to take care of it and tohelp transform it. We need to be aware of the suffering,but retain our clarity, calmness, and strength so we canhelp transform the situation. The ocean of tears cannotdrown us if karuna (compassion) is there. That is why theBuddha’s smile is possible." - Thich Nhat Hanh
