Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
Dalai LamaOld friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai LamaHappiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai LamaThe important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good.
Dalai LamaFor Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise.
Dalai LamaFoolish, selfish people are always thinking of themselves and the result is always negative. Wise persons think of others, helping them as much as they can, and the result is happiness. Love and compassion are beneficial both for you and others. Through your kindness to others, your mind and heart will open to peace.
Dalai Lama
