Mother’s milk is, I think, a symbol of compassion. Without mother’s milk, we cannot survive, so our first act as a baby together with our mother is sucking milk from our mother, with a feeling of great closeness. At that time, we may not know how to express what love is, what compassion is, but there is a strong feeling of closeness.

The Dalai Lama
