Dalai LamaIt is... very helpful to think of adversity not so much as a threat to our peace of mind but rather as the very means by which patience is attained.
Dalai LamaIn today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
Dalai LamaA genuine transformation that results from sustained concerted effort is long lasting because it has a firm foundation.
Dalai LamaUse your human intelligence in the best way you can; transform your emotions in a positive way.
Dalai LamaAnger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
