On a simple level we find that if we have a compassionate heart we naturally have more friends. – HH The Dalai Lama
The Things We Must Check
How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life. – HH The Dalai Lama
Affection and Kindness
I think human nature is basically good: though we have jealousy and hatred, our dominant characteristics seem to be affection and kindness. – HH The Dalai Lama
Overcoming Anger and Hatred
We cannot overcome anger and hatred simply by suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate the antidotes: patience and tolerance. – HH The Dalai Lama
