Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each otherโs rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loserโnot that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way.
Dalai LamaThere are a number of qualities which are important for mental peace, but from the little experience I have, I believe that one of the most important factors is human compassion and affection: a sense of caring.
Dalai LamaSince we desire the true happiness that is brought about by a calm mind, and such peace of mind arises only from having a compassionate attitude, we need to make a concerted effort to develop compassion.
