Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.
Dalai Lama
Image
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.

Six billion human beings' future is my future and my future is never separate from the future of six billion human beings.
Dalai Lama

Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being. The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.

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.

Since periods of great change, such as the present one, come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.
