Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
Dalai LamaWe need to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness
Dalai LamaThrough awareness, you get a certain attitude. That's the way, you see, to achieve more peaceful, more compassion, more friendship through that way.
Dalai LamaUltimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else. The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
Dalai LamaWhether we consider the individual, family, local, national or international level, peace must arise from inner peace. For example, making prayers for peace while continuing to harbor anger is futile. Training the mind and overcoming your anger is much more effective than mere prayer. Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.
