‘I am not afraid of impermanence.’
said a Rinpoche and recalled by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — We have; yellow hat, red hat, black hat.
‘We have; yellow hat, red hat, black hat — one day will we get a green hat so lamas take more care of environment.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — The mind is an affirmative phenomenon.
‘The mind is an affirmative phenomenon, but on the ordinary level it is obscured by concepts.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — We have; yellow hat, red hat, black hat.
‘We have; yellow hat, red hat, black hat — one day will we get a green hat so lamas take more care of environment.’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — Any person who lacks compassion, is hateful.
‘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.’
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? 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?’
