It seems essential to me that the major religions come to agree upon the importance of adopting a basic, universal, set of ethics. – HH The Dalai Lama
Make it Meaningful
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day. – HH The Dalai Lama
The Field Doesn’t Matter
If we develop a good heart, then whether the field is science, agriculture or politics, since motivation is important, these will all improve. – HH The Dalai Lama
Importance of Empathy
Looking at various means of developing compassion, I think empathy is an important factor: the ability to appreciate others’ suffering. – HH The Dalai Lama
Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy mind; so peace of mind, a calm mind, is very, very important. – Dalai Lama
