A Buddhist Valentine -- Beliefnet.com: "Buddhist love is based on recognizing our fundamental interconnectedness and knowing that all beings are like ourselves in wanting and needing happiness, safety, fulfillment, and not wanting suffering and misery. The Dalai Lama says, 'If you want to be wisely selfish, care for others.' All the happiness and virtue in this world comes from selflessness and generosity, all the sorrow from egotism, selfishness, and greed."
