All beings come from a mother's womb. We should have a clear realization of the oneness of all humanity.
Dalai LamaEvery human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation.
Dalai LamaWe must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
Dalai LamaA good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.
Dalai LamaLove, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness. If you have these in abundance, you will not be disturbed even by the most uncomfortable circumstances. If you nurse hatred, however, you will not be happy even in the lap of luxury. Thus, if we really want happiness, we must widen the sphere of love. This is both religious thinking and basic common sense.
Dalai Lama
