A simple smile. That's the start of
opening your heart and being
compassionate to others.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

Cultivating care and concern f...

Cultivating care and concern for others gives rise to a kind of inner strength. No matter what difficulties or problems you face, in this wider context they'll seem less significant and troubling to you. The inner strength, self-confidence and courage you gain by focussing on others' needs instead of your own, brings with it a deep, calm sense of satisfaction.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

When we are angry we are blind...

When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind.

educated or uneducated,

social status or ideology may be,

It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.

Dalai Lama 1416 quotes

The problem isn't materialism ...

The problem isn't materialism as such. Rather it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.

A thousand candles can be lit from one candle, however the life of the original candle is not shortened in the least.

Friends, genuine friends, are attracted by a warm heart, not money, not power. A genuine friend considers you as just another human being, as a brother or sister, and shows affection on that level, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, or in a high position; that is a genuine friend.
