Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara

When one's heart is steeped in compassion,
no dissension can bring disruption;
if one's heart is strengthened by compassion,
the mind enjoys sweet coolness,
like a clear pool which no passion can agitate,
no fire of anger destroy.

I'm sorry to have to announce that David Robins, my co-author of "Cool Rules", died in October 2007.

I've been trying to locate pubs in London for some post-Christmas drinking that serve Mild (other than as a guest beer). There are, according to CAMRA, only 4. Fortunately one of them is in N1.
