As soon as I wake up I pay homage to the Buddha, and I try to prepare my mind to be more altruistic, more compassionate, during the day to come so I can be of benefit to beings. Then I do physical exersice - I walk on a treadmill.

More quotes by Dalai Lama

We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.
