Morning meditation — I find it is very important to constantly remind ourselves.
‘I find it is very important to constantly remind ourselves that we are human beings, we are capable of learning new things, and we can make things better whatever the situation is.’
Geshe Tashi Tsering
Morning meditation — Let your senses be naturally at ease.
‘Don’t let your mind get too tense or too inwardly concentrated; let your senses be naturally at ease, balanced between tension and relaxation.’
Words of my Perfect Teacher
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.’
