Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
Dalai LamaIf you make your best effort to be kinder, nurture compassion, make the world a better place, then you can say 'At least I've done my best.
Dalai LamaPeople need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there But because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.
Dalai LamaOnce we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.
