Ama La

The real teacher of compassion
In every human being’s life
Is our mother
We are born
From our mother
Our common experience
Our life starts with tremendous affection and care
So in that respect
Females have this special responsibility
Now again, scientists say
When someone is passing through difficulties
Painful experiences
That biologically females
Have the feeling of being more sensitive to others' pain
With that background
I think the young children
Should receive maximum affection
And then parents, and particularly mothers
Should spend more time with their children
This, I think, is very important
So, mother is, I think
The person who introduces to us
The value of love
Value of compassion
So, real teacher
In every human being’s life
The real teacher of compassion
Is our mother
