“We tend to think that happiness comes from money and power, without acknowledging the role of the mind or that the key to happiness is inner peace. When we are mentally distressed, physical comfort brings little relief, whereas we can often withstand physical pain if we are mentally at peace,” writes in Dalai Lama’s book.
Known for his wise words about all aspects of life, the Dalai Lama has become one of the most beloved and significant spiritual leaders in this recent century. Full of inspiration and compassion, he has devoted his life to promoting world peace and building bridges between dividing countries and environmental causes.

48. “Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn’t think that human inner values don’t apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.”
49. “I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable to you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself.

57. “Happiness doesn’t always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.”
58. “Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them, we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry, nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.”

They have also found the opposite, that constant anger and hatred weaken our immune system. Therefore, just as we teach people physical hygiene to help preserve their physical health, for a happy and peaceful mind, we need to teach people about emotional hygiene— how to tackle their destructive emotions.”
It’s good to remember that other human beings are like us. We are born the same way; we die the same way.If you concern yourself with taking care of others, there’ll be no room for lies, bullying, and cheating. When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it also helps us to develop inner happiness and peace…
