Some thoughts deserve a permanent place in the room. This quote by the XIVth Dalai Lama on selfishness and compassion is one of them. It invites us to pause and reflect on our own attitude with both intelligence and an open heart.

 

The wall hanging is handcrafted in Nepal from natural cotton fabric. The cream-coloured text background is framed by a black border printed with deep red motifs in traditional Tibetan style. A braided hanging cord and two round wooden rods at the top and bottom give the piece a calm, traditional form.

 

The quote reminds us that genuine self-interest and compassion for others are not opposites, but belong together. A quiet yet meaningful addition to any living space.
