It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Dalai LamaNowadays, we are confronted by a huge gap between rich and poor. This is not only morally wrong, but practically a mistake. It leads to the rich living in anxiety and the poor living in frustration, which has the potential to lead to more violence. We have to work to reduce this gap. It's truly unfair that some people should have so much while others go hungry.
Dalai LamaWe need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.
Dalai LamaAppreciate how rare and full of potential your situation is in this world, then take joy in it, and use it to your best advantage.
