I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence we must learn to use it.
Dalai Lama

Certain beliefs must accompany every action: One should act without selfishness, cultivate compassion for all living things, and develop respect for others.
