Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.
Dalai LamaIf your mental attitude is positive, even when threats abound, you wonโt lose your inner peace. On the other hand, if your mind is negative, marked by fear, suspicion and feelings of helplessness, even among your best friends, in a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, you wonโt be happy.
Dalai LamaMost REAL change is slow. Happiness and joy are the purpose of life. If we know that the future will be very dark or painful, then we lose our determination to live. Therefore, life is something based on hope.
Dalai LamaReligion is like going out to dinner with friends. Everyone may order something different, but everyone can still sit at the same table.
