The more we think of others, the happier we are. The more we think of ourselves, the more suffering we feel.
Dalai LamaIf we can refrain from harming others in our actions & words, we can start to give serious attention to actively doing good.
Dalai LamaIt is my fundamental belief that all human beings share the same basic aspirations: that we all want hapiness and that we all share suffering. Asians, just like Americans, Europeans, and the rest of the world, share a desire to live life to its fullest, to better ourselves and the lives of our loved ones.
Dalai LamaIf you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.
Dalai LamaWe cannot hope to die peacefully if our lives have been full of violence, or if our minds have mostly been agitated by emotions like anger, attachment, or fear. So if we wish to die well, we must learn how to live well: Hoping for a peaceful death, we must cultivate peace in our mind, and in our way of life.
Dalai Lama
