“Some people mistakenly conclude that cultivating compassion is all about others’ benefit, whereas the first benefit is to us. Compassion brings us peace of mind. It attracts friends. Friends are based on trust and trust develops when we show concern for others.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

The welfare of others!
“We are self-centred and selfish, but we need to be wisely selfish, not foolishly so. If we neglect others, we too lose. We have to support others. We can educate people to understand that the best way to fulfil their own interest is to be concerned about the welfare of others.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Our Prime Purpose
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
