Dalai Lama Quote of the Week


The human essence of good sense finds no room with anger. Anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred are the real troublemakers; with them problems cannot be solved. Though one may have temporary success, ultimately one's hatred or anger will create further difficulties. With anger, all actions are swift. When we face problems with compassion, sincerely and with good motivation, it may take longer, but ultimately the solution is better, for there is far less chance of creating a new problem through the temporary "solution" of the present one.

-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama from Kindness, Clarity and Insight, published by Snow Lion Publications.
