Whenever we strive to make progress in our meditations, contemplations and so forth we are practicing effort.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWe all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoThe more we control our mind, the more our inner peace increases and the happier we become
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoPatience is a mind that is able to accept fully and happily, whatever occurs. It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises, having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are.
