Altruism is the best source of happiness. There is no doubt about that.
Dalai Lama
Image
To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.

See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.

It is our custom to say that someone is 'lucky' or 'unlucky' if they meet with fortunate or unfortunate circumstances, respectively. It is, however, too simplistic to think in terms of random 'luck.' Even from a scientific point of view, this is not a sufficient explanation.

Dalai Lama

I feel they should be discussed informally, truthfully, honestly, and in some cases, I think, without forgetting ... long-term vision. They should be practical.
Dalai Lama
Image
Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness. These imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow.
Dalai Lama
Image
It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.
Dalai Lama
Image
The immediate source of a mind... must be a mind which existed before the conception took place the mind must have a continuity from a previous mind. This we hold to prove the existence of a past life.

Had Tibet not fallen away from dharma China could not have invaded.
