A first principle of Buddhist psychology: See the inner nobility and beauty of all human beings. As Thomas Merton said, "Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts...the core of their reality, the person that each one is in the eyes of the Divine.... If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed. I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other." - Jack Kornfield
