In the modern world, the interests of a particular community can no longer be considered to lie within the confines of its own boundaries.
Dalai LamaThe very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, โI can do this.โ It brings inner strength, self-confidence , the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.
Dalai LamaKindness and a good heart are the foundation for success in this life, progress on the spiritual path, and the fulfillment of our aspirations. Our need for them is not limited to any specific time, place, society, or culture.
Dalai LamaMaterial progress and a higher standard of living bring us greater comfort and health, but do not lead to a transformation of the mind, which is the only thing capable of providing lasting peace. Profound happiness, unlike fleeting pleasures, is spiritual in nature. It depends on the happiness of others and it is based on love and affection.
