sacrifice order leisure
In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.
spring responsibility compassion
The lessons we have begun to learn make me hopeful, that human beings will become friendlier, more harmonious, less harmful. Compassion and the seeds of peace will be able to flourish. At the same time, every individual is responsible to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes alone are not enough; we have to take responsibility. Large human movements spring from individual human initiatives
persons values
Don't be a person of success, be a person of value.
ignorance roots light
Inner darkness, which we call ignorance, is the root of suffering. The more inner light that comes, the more darkness will diminish. This is the only way to achieve salvation or nirvana.
caring two impact
The two most important things to remember in business are: to be aware of the consequential impact on ecology, and a caring relationship between employer and employee.
moving men years
In twenty years' time I'll be eighty-three, just an old man with a stick moving like a sloth bear. While I'm alive, I am fully committed to autonomy, and I am the person who can persuade the Tibetan people to accept it.
thinking focus welfare
If you shift your focus from oneself to others, and think more about others' well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.
live-life suffering desire
It is my fundamental belief that all human beings share the same basic aspirations: that we all want hapiness and that we all share suffering. Asians, just like Americans, Europeans, and the rest of the world, share a desire to live life to its fullest, to better ourselves and the lives of our loved ones.
religious responsibility sisterhood
Sometimes religion becomes yet another source for more division and even open conflict. Because of that situation, I feel the different religious traditions have a great responsibility to provide peace of mind and a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood among humanity.
strong ocean thinking
I think when tragic things happen it is on surface. It is like the ocean. One the surface a waves and sometimes the wave is very serious and strong. But it comes and goes, comes and goes, and underneath, the ocean always remains calm. Tibetans have a saying: "If bad news comes to you listen here" (points to the right ear) "and let it our here" (points to the left ear).
buddhist reality passive-resistance
Firstly, as a Buddhist monk, I hold that violence is not good. Secondly, I am a firm believer in the Gandian ethic of passive resistance. And thirdly, in reality, violence is not our strength.
strong losing temper
Anger is the ultimate troublemaker. I feel you can express a strong disapproval or dislike of an object without losing your temper.
showing-love humans ifs
If you are showing love to your fellow human beings, you are showing love to your God.
mind unrest calm
A mind that is characterized by unrest will not be tranquil even in the presence of great calm.
