Without your own effort it is impossible for blessings to come.

To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.

The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger.

There is...a tendency to think of the spiritual life as primarily introspective, divorced from the concerns of everyday life....Faith that does not translate into actions is no faith at all.

Without religion, also there is a way, it could be this way, through education, through scientific findings, then you get conviction. Not necessarily really love other, but for their own interest they are showing love, compassion to other like that.

Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.

A female Dalai Lama must be very attractive, otherwise not much use.
