Peace must first be developed within an individual. And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism are the fundamental basis for peace. Once these qualities are developed within an individual, he or she is then able to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to his family, from the family to the community and eventually to the whole world.
Dalai LamaNot only is your own happiness and welfare related to others, but the more you help them, the happier you will be.
Dalai LamaYour education tends to develop the brain while it neglects the heart, so you have a longing for teachings that develop and strengthen the good heart.
Dalai LamaI can do what my energy, my time, to my other sort of commitment. And then also emotional, religious harmony. So in these two field, now that more or less I think the spirituality or human values in these fields, I may consider my only professional field. The political, national struggle, these are not my profession.
