Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute.
Dalai LamaWe must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep in mind the interests of others. We cannot destroy our neighours! We cannot ignore their interests!
Dalai LamaSo the smart brain must be balanced with a warm heart, a good heart -a sense of responsibility, of concern for the well-being of others.
Dalai LamaMany people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our society. If we are truly serious about this, we must deal with the roots of violence, particularly those that exist within each of us. We need to embrace 'inner disarmament,' reducing our own emotions of suspicion, hatred and hostility toward our brothers and sisters
