Do not belittle your small virtues, Saying, "They are nothing." Even by the falling of drops, a water jar is filled; Likewise the wise man, gathering little by little, fills himself with good.

- Buddha: Dhammapada

"I see many similarities between the Euro Americans and the Tibetans. It reminds me of why the United States was founded. People were being repressed and were not able to practice their spiritual beliefs. They were tired of how the government was mistreating them. They wanted freedom and a place to practice without fear of death or imprisonment. This important retreat center is the optimum place for teaching local, national and world peace", quoted Jim Eiteljorg.
