Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, thereโs no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.
Dalai LamaCompassion is one of the principal things that make our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy.
Dalai LamaOur world is increasingly interdependent, but I wonder if we truly understand that our interdependent human community has to be compassionate; compassionate in our choice of goals, compassionate in our means of cooperation and our pursuit of these goals.
Dalai LamaI could justify violence only in this extreme case, to save the last living knowledge of Buddhism itself.
Dalai LamaThere is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.
Dalai Lama
