By developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.
Dalai LamaWhat is important is to see how we can best lead a meaningful everyday life, how we can bring about peace and harmony in our minds, how we can help contribute to society.
Dalai LamaThe ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai LamaWhen you encounter some problems, if you point your finger at yourself and not at others, this gives you control over yourself and calmness in a situation, where otherwise self-control becomes problematic.
Dalai LamaThere is nothing that does not get easier through cultivation. The buddhas of the past started out as ordinary beings. They were not buddhas in the beginning. The path to buddhahood is traversed only through gradually developing more and more courage and DETERMINATION -then it is attained.
Dalai LamaThose who have little interest in spirituality shouldnโt think that human inner values donโt apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.
