We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share
Dalai LamaTo be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness.
Dalai LamaWith the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.
Dalai LamaIf there's good, strong evidence from science that such and such is the case and this is contrary to Buddhism, then we will change.
