It is very rare or almost impossible that an event can be negative from all points of view.
Dalai LamaExternal circumstances can contribute to one's happiness and well-being, but ultimately happiness and suffering depend on the mind.
Dalai LamaCriminals, people who commit crimes, usually society rejects these people. They are also part of our society. Give them some form of punishment to say they were wrong, but show them they are part of society and can change. Show them compassion.
Dalai LamaTaking care of our planet is like taking care of our houses. Since we human beings come from Nature, there is no point in our going against nature, which is why I say the environment is not a matter of religion or ethics or morality. These are luxuries, since we can survive without them. But we will not survive if we continue to go against nature.
