The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities - warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful - happier.
Dalai LamaJust as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.
Dalai LamaYour education tends to develop the brain while it neglects the heart, so you have a longing for teachings that develop and strengthen the good heart.
Dalai LamaI call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.
Dalai Lama
