Scientists are discovering that while anger and hatred eat into our immune system, warm-heartedness and compassion are good for our health.
Dalai LamaCultivating care and concern for others gives rise to a kind of inner strength. No matter what difficulties or problems you face, in this wider context theyโll seem less significant and troubling to you. The inner strength, self-confidence and courage you gain by focussing on othersโ needs instead of your own, brings with it a deep, calm sense of satisfaction.
Dalai LamaHelping others is not limited to providing food, shelter, and so forth, but includes relieving the basic causes of suffering and providing the basic causes of happiness.
Dalai LamaIf you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.
Dalai Lama
