You need to keep agreements with yourself, and with others. I think this is really fundamental. You need to be able to stick to some course of action; to see it through in spite of difficult circumstances. You need to be reliable. You need to be form for others; rather than being emptiness for them. That’s one meaning of compassion.p192, Wearing the Body of Visions, Ngakpa Chögyam, Aro Books, 1995, ISBN 1-898185-03-4
