The Dalai Lama should not be partisan either, should remain above.

There should be pluralism - the concept of many religions, many truths. But we must also be careful not to become nihilistic.

When there is too much stress or worry, look within.

No material object, however beautiful or valuable, can make us feel loved, because our deeper identity and true character lie in the subjective nature of the mind.

It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty.

Treat each person as you would an old friend.

I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
