pain helping-others suffering
Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible. And if we cannot help others, at least we should try not to create pain and suffering for them.
reality thinking attachment
There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality.

The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
religious concern-for-others well-being
Warm-heartedne ss and concern for others’ well-being are a condition for happiness, whether you are religious or not.
happiness happy mean
Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
hurt buddhism helping-others
The essence of Buddhism is if you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.
real views enemy
From a certain point of view our real enemy, the true troublemaker, is inside.
people modern-life world
Being concerned about other people is especially relevant in today's world. If we consider the complex inter-connected ness of our modern lives, how we depend on others and others depend on us, our outlook will change. We’ll begin to see 'others' not as somehow distant from us, but as people we are in touch with, people close to us; we will no longer feel indifferent to them.
compassion tolerance way
Education is the way to achieve far-reaching results, it is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.
needs fulfilled fulfilling
When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.
thinking way ethics
I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.
inspirational presence-of-mind self
The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.
use female attractive
A female Dalai Lama must be very attractive, otherwise not much use.
thinking small-problems self
The more you think about your own self, the more self-centred you are, the more trouble even small problems can create in your mind. The stronger your sense of 'I', the narrower the scope of your thinking becomes; then even small obstacles become unbearable. On the other hand, if you concern yourself mainly with others, the broader your thinking becomes, and life's inevitable difficulties disturb you less.
