Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.
Dalai LamaFoolish, selfish people are always thinking of themselves and the result is always negative. Wise persons think of others, helping them as much as they can, and the result is happiness. Love and compassion are beneficial both for you and others. Through your kindness to others, your mind and heart will open to peace.
Dalai LamaWithout mutual tolerance emerging as the foundation, terrible situations like those of Tibet and Sri Lanka, Bosnia and Rwanda, can never be effectively improved.
Dalai LamaA zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.
Dalai LamaCompassion instills a sense of calm, inner strength, and a deep confidence and satisfaction
Dalai LamaAny issue, including political, economic and religious activities human beings pursue in this world, should be fully understood before we pass our judgement. Therefore, it is very important to know the causes. Whatever the issue, we should be able to see the complete picture. This will enable us to comprehend the whole story.
