Book "Me first!" (EN - English)

Getting lost is easy, especially if we are sure that we are right. Trusting our thoughts and feelings, we act decisively and strongly and find out much later that we have gone blindly astray without realising that we were so wrong.This story shows both the havoc created by the selfish entitlement that proclaims, “Me first!” and the many faces of kindness the Buddhas manifested to tidy up the mess.Search for "Me first!
