His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Genuine Smile
“Compassion brings us peace of mind. It brings a smile to our face and genuine smiles bring us closer together.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Genuine Friends
“Genuine friends, are attracted by a warm heart, not money, not power. A genuine friend considers you as just another human being, as a brother or sister, and shows affection on that level, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, or in a high position; that is a genuine friend.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
Friends
“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama
What really attracts friends?
“Fear and anxiety easily give way to anger and violence. The opposite of fear is trust, which, related to warm-heartedness, boosts our self-confidence. Compassion also reduces fear, reflecting as it does a concern for others’ well-being. This is what really attracts friends.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
We are social animal
“We are social animals. If someone is angry with you, it’s important to remain warm-hearted towards them. Today’s enemy may become tomorrow’s friend. If they behave negatively towards you and you are hostile in return there’ll be no end to the trouble between you.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
