Happiness arises as a result of different causes and conditions. If you harm someone out of anger, you may feel some superficial satisfaction, but deep down you know it was wrong. Your confidence will be undermined. However, if you have an altruistic attitude, youโll feel comfortable and confident in the presence of others.
Dalai LamaI one individual human being. One of the seven billion human being. I believe each of us, our future depends on the rest of humanity.
Dalai LamaThe essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.
Dalai LamaWhile it is all very well to distinguish happiness that is transient from that which is lasting, between ephemeral and genuine happiness, the only happiness it is meaningful to speak of when a person is dying from thirst is access to water.
