As Human Beings, We Are Only Able

To Be Kind, Honest And Have Positive Thoughts; To Forgive Those Who Harm Us And Treat Everyone As A Friend; To Help Those Who Are Suffering And Never To Consider Ourselves Superior To Anyone Else: Even If This Advice Seems Rather Simplistic, Make The Effort Of Seeing Whether By Following It You Can Find Greater Happiness.

In Our Own Case, We Don't Consider The Loss Of A Monastery Or A Monument The End Of Our Entire Way Of Life. If One Monastery Is Destroyed, Sometimes It Happens.

We Are All, By Nature, Clearly Oriented Toward The Basic Human Values Of Love And Compassion. We All Prefer The Love Of Others To Their Hatred. We All Prefer Others’ Generosity To Meanness. And Who Is There Among Us Who Does Not Prefer Tolerance, Respect And Forgiveness Of Our Failings To Bigotry, Disrespect, And Resentment?

Without Mutual Tolerance Emerging As The Foundation, Terrible Situations Like Those Of Tibet And Sri Lanka, Bosnia And Rwanda, Can Never Be Effectively Improved.

I Am The Source Of My Own Suffering, Because Of The Habits Of My Mind.
