As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.
Dalai LamaThrough money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.
Dalai LamaAll good qualities must be sown and cultivated. We can’t expect to change overnight from an ordinary person into one with high realizations.
