Compassion is something we can count on. Even if we face economic problems and our fortunes decline, we can still share our compassion with our fellow human beings. National and global economies are subject to many ups and downs, but through them all we can retain a compassionate attitude that will carry us through.
Dalai LamaPeace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. True peace with oneself and with the world around us can only be achieved through the development of mental peace.
Dalai LamaThe essence of compassion is a desire to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being
Dalai LamaEach one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each otherโs welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Dalai Lama
