An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too.
Dalai LamaAn important distinction can be made between religion and spirituality. Religion [is] concerned with faith in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition... Spirituality is concerned with qualities of the human spirit, love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, that bring happiness both to self.
Dalai LamaA mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
