All beings come from a mother's womb. We should have a clear realization of the oneness of all humanity.
Dalai LamaTo combat hatred directed toward a person, a Buddhist cultivates loving kindness toward that person.
Dalai LamaIf you concern yourself mainly with others, the broader your thinking becomes, and life’s inevitable difficulties disturb you less.
Dalai LamaIn our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.
