More From Dalai Lama

This Generation Has A Responsibility To Reshape The World. Start The Task Even If It Will Not Be Fulfilled In Your Lifetime. Even If It Seems Hopeless Now, Never Give Up. Offer A Positive Vision, With Enthusiasm And Joy, And An Optimistic Outlook.

"the True Essence Of Humankind Is Kindness. There Are Other Qualities Which Come From Education Or Knowledge, But It Is Essential, If One Wishes To Be A Genuine Human Being And Impart Satisfying Meaning To One's Existence, To Have A Good Heart."

Smile If You Want A Smile From Another Face.

The Universe That We Inhabit And Our Shared Perception Of It Are The Results Of A Common Karma. Likewise, The Places That We Will Experience In Future Rebirths Will Be The Outcome Of The Karma That We Share With The Other Beings Living There. The Actions Of Each Of Us, Human Or Nonhuman, Have Contributed To The World In Which We Live. We All Have A Common Responsibility For Our World And Are Connected With Everything In It.

Pain Is Inevitable,suffering Is Optional... We Have Bigger Houses,but Smaller Families. More Conveniences,but Less Time. We Have Knowledge,but Less Judgements; More Experts,but More Problems ; More Medicines But Less Health.
