Sectarian feelings and criticism of other teachings or other sects is very bad, poisonous, and should be avoided.
Dalai LamaTo foster inner awareness, introspection, and reasoning is more efficient than meditation and prayer.
Dalai LamaEvery morning when I wake up, I dedicate myself to helping others to find peace of mind. Then, when I meet people, I think of them as long term friends; I don't regard others as strangers.
Dalai LamaFriends, genuine friends, are attracted by a warm heart, not money, not power. A genuine friend considers you as just another human being, as a brother or sister, and shows affection on that level, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, or in a high position; that is a genuine friend.
Dalai Lama
