In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.
Dalai LamaThe purpose of our lives is to be happy. We live in hope, which means looking forward to something good. And there are increasing scientific findings that both our physical and mental well-being depend on our peace of mind.
Dalai LamaI think mischievous people always there, ... Some kind of perfect world, that is impossible. Accept that reality. (For) those people who have genuine concern about humanity, make some effort-better than none.
Dalai LamaMost of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.
Dalai LamaIf we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.
Dalai LamaIf your mental attitude is positive, even when threats abound, you wonโt lose your inner peace. On the other hand, if your mind is negative, marked by fear, suspicion and feelings of helplessness, even among your best friends, in a pleasant atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, you wonโt be happy.
