Silence is sometimes the best answer

Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.

Whether or not we follow any particular spiritual tradition, the benefits of love and kindness are obvious to anyone.
Dalai Lama

Compassion suits our physical condition, whereas anger, fear and distrust are harmful to our well-being. Therefore, just as we learn the importance of physical hygiene to physical health, to ensure healthy minds, we need to learn some kind of emotional hygiene.

Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.

Love is wanting others to be happy.

Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness.
Dalai Lama

We can make this a more peaceful century if we cherish non-violence and concern for others’ well-being. It is possible. If the individual is happier, his or her family is happier if families are happy, neighborhoods and nations will be happy. By transforming ourselves we can change our human way of life and make this a century of compassion.

When we talk about global crisis, or a crisis of humanity, we cannot blame a few politicians, a few fanatics, or a few troublemakers. The whole of humanity has a responsibility because it is our business, human business. I call this a sense of universal responsibility. That is a crucial point.
Dalai Lama
Image
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
Dalai Lama
Image
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. 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.
Dalai Lama
Image
Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves.
