My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call 'education of the heart'.
Dalai LamaModern education is premised strongly on materialistic values. It is vital that when educating our children's brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.
Dalai LamaIt seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless
Dalai LamaHappiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
