If you wonder what you were doing in the past, look at your body; to know what will happen to you in the future, look at your mind.
Dalai LamaUnlike an external enemy, the inner enemy cannot regroup and launch a comeback once it has been destroyed from within.
Dalai LamaIn our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.
