We should have great respect for each otherįaith and different beliefs or the absence of them have often confronted people, but we are all human beings just as much as we should respect and love each other.ġ1. Both believers and non-believers are human beings. If we are not at peace with ourselves we cannot aspire to achieve peace in the world.ġ0.
We must love and respect ourselves if we are to convey these feelings to the outside world. You can never get peace in the outside world until you are at peace with yourself While it may not be pleasant to have our failures highlighted, a true friend is one who is able to risk harm to help us correct them.ĩ. A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil should be respected as if the secret of a hidden treasure were revealed However, we must try to make our suffering allow us to become stronger, to visualize what is primordial and to learn from what happened so that it does not happen again.Ĩ. Great tragedies and many moments of pain and suffering can happen in life. There is a Tibetan saying that tragedy should be used as a source of strength These three elements prevent us from striving to understand each other and help the relationships we establish to be destructive rather than positive.ħ. Anger, pride, and competition are our real enemies This phrase urges us not to despair, to look for a reason to continue whatever happens-Ħ. No matter what kind of difficulties we go through, how painful the experience is, if we lose our hope that is our real disaster Helping others and making the world a better place is paramount, and if we are not able to do so we should at least try not to harm them.ĥ. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them Our main purpose in this life is to help others. It only causes those who take revenge to be the object of the revenge of the one who receives that revenge.Ĥ. An eye for an eye… and we will all be blind There is no happiness to be sought and attained as if it were an external object, but something that is produced by one’s actions.ģ. Happiness is not something that comes prefabricated.
Life can be wonderful and we should feel lucky to enjoy it.Ģ. This phrase reflects the will to live our life at the same time, to take advantage of the time we have. Every day when you wake up, think “today I feel lucky to be alive, I have a beautiful human life, I’m not going to waste it” īelow you will find several reflections and phrases of the Dalai Lama that can help us to understand his thought and philosophy.ġ.
