The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

Dalai LamaSome people get the impression that Buddhism talks too much about suffering. In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time. Similarly, the Buddhist is willing to sacrifice immediate comfort so that he or she can achieve lasting happiness.
Dalai LamaI do not understand men. They spend their lives to use their health to make money and then they spend their money to restore their health.
