"Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Your education tends to develop the brain while it neglects the heart, so you have a longing for teachings that develop and strengthen the good heart.”

“Who has magnificent self-confidenceAnd fears nothing that exists?The man who has attained to truthAnd lives free of error.”

“The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.”

“I feel that compassionate thought is the most precious thing there is. It is something that only we human beings can develop. And if we have a good heart, a warm heart, warm feelings, we will be happy and satisfied ourselves, and our friends will experience a friendly and peaceful atmosphere as well. This can be experienced community to community, country to country, continent to continent.”

“The future will be in the hands of those of you who belong to the 21st century. You have the opportunity and responsibility to build a better humanity. This means developing warm-heartednes s in this very life, here and now. So, do whatever work you do, but ask yourselves now and then, 'How can I contribute to human beings being happier and more peaceful?'”

“My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.”

“If you have anything in your heart other than love, you've got to get it out.”

“A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.”

“There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.”
