Dalai Lama XIV

The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience.

When I doubt that I exist, I pinch myself.

We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha's own words must be rejected.

The secret to my own happiness, my own good future, is within my own hands. I must not miss that opportunity!

The purpose of our lives is to be happy-Dalai Lama

Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.

Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn__ think that human inner values don__ apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided. - 12/7/2012 on his Facebook page

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:'Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

Can there be a completely different set of laws of physics in a different universe, or do the laws of physics as we understand them hold true in all possible universes? If the answer is that a different set of laws can operate in a different universe system, this would suggest (from a Buddhist perspective) that even the laws of physics are entangled with the karma of the sentient beings that will arise in that universe.

In the end, the innate desire of all people for truth, justice, and human understanding must triumph over ignorance and despair.

The more honest you are, the more open, the less fear you will have, because there's no anxiety about being exposed or revealed to others.

Use your good common sense. Is anger useful? If you get angry at someone, the result is good neither for you nor for the other person. Nothing helpful comes of it. In the end, anger does not harm others; it hurts yourself.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.
