Dalai LamaĪ source of trouble is our unruly minds. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering. Too much self-centered attitude brings isolation. In most cases, my visits to the West are for the promotion of human values and religious harmony. I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted. Just as we employ physical hygiene to protect our health, we need emotional hygiene, the means to tackle our destructive emotions, if we are to achieve peace of mind.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. If I am happy when good things happen to other people, billions of more chances to be happy! -Dalai Lama If I am only happy for myself, many fewer chances for happiness. Dalai LamaĪ calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it. If you find some point which may be suitable for you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. I will not propose to you that my way is best. Physical health, material wealth, and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.
Dalai LamaĪ sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.
