Dalai LamaA mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir - a constant source of energy, determination, and kindness.
Dalai LamaThe problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger, and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.
