‘Any person who lacks compassion, is hateful, has a very strong force of attachment, has no knowledge of the three trainings, and who boasts about the little knowledge that he does have, should not be taken on as a Tantric master.’

Morning meditation — These days, fame—good name or bad name—comes through the media.
‘These days, fame—good name or bad name—comes through the media. What happens if a person is alone in a remote place and were to shout out in an attempt to bring fame? Nothing would happen! If you shout, eventually an echo will come, but nothing else!’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — Deep within this human flesh and bones.
‘Deep within this human flesh and bones, there are some kinds of instincts. As human beings, we have a natural tendency to appreciate the cooperation and kindness of others.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — These days, fame — good name or bad name — comes through the media.
‘These days, fame — good name or bad name — comes through the media. What happens if a person is alone in a remote place and were to shout out in an attempt to bring fame?’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — This is quite clear and simple.
‘This is quite clear and simple if we think of it properly. Shelter, food, companionship, friendship, fame, wealth, power — none of these things come from oneself; they depend on many other factors.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — Compassion, love, kindness.
‘Compassion, love, kindness, a sense of brotherhood or sisterhood, a sense of altruism — these are key areas for human development in the future as well as today.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — Noticing a single shortcoming in ourselves.
‘Noticing a single shortcoming in ourselves is far more useful than seeing a 1,000 in someone else. We can correct our own.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — You need self-confidence and determination.
‘You need self-confidence and determination; feeling depressed and losing hope will never help to improve any situation.’
