A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.
Dalai LamaRemember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Dalai LamaWhat is important is to see how we can best lead a meaningful everyday life, how we can bring about peace and harmony in our minds, how we can help contribute to society.
Dalai LamaThe first beneficiary of compassion is always oneself. When compassion, or warmheartedness, arises in us and our focus shifts away from our own narrow self-interest, it is as if we open an inner door. It reduces fear, boosts confidence and brings us inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connection to others, and sense of purpose and meaning in life.
