"The more contact we have with one..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.”

“There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.”

“Peace in the world depends on peace in the hearts of individuals; this depends on each of us practising ethics by disciplining our negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities.”

“How Do I Listen to others? As if everyone were my Master Speaking to me His Cherished Last Words.”

“The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That's why it's important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive.”

“A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.”

“Because there are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, the third is useless.”

“No language exists that cannot be misused... Every Interpretation is hypothetical, for it is a mere attempt to read an unfamiliar text.”

“Changing your attitude from self-centerdness to understanding requires desire and commitment to always try to see things from the other persons point of view.”
