@elonmusk dearest Elon. Grateful for your courage & intentions for creating a united space. I would like to ask for support in creating an endowment for education - The Ayurvedic Institute (existing for 40 yrs) so that health and wellness are not based on financial means.
If nothing bad is happening to you now, wait a bit and it will. That is just reality. My approach to life is that it is what it is and the important thing is for me to figure out what to do about it and not spend time moaning about how I wish it were different. Winston Churchill hit the nail on the head when he said, "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." You will come to enjoy this process of careening between success and failure because it will determine your trajectory.
It makes no sense to get frustrated when there's so much that you can do, and when life offers so many things to savor. Your path through any problem is outlined in these principles--and in others you'll discover yourself. There's nothing you can't accomplish if you think creatively and have the character to do the difficult things. #principleoftheday
His Holiness’ Message for the New Year - 2024
On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to thank everyone who has sent me good wishes, and I offer my greetings to you all, brothers and sisters across the world.
Despite the many challenges that we are facing today, I feel optimistic that with a growing appreciation of how interconnected we all are in the oneness of humanity, we can all work to lead more meaningful lives and create a better world.
As human beings we share a common wish to be happy and free from pain. We are social animals who depend on others to survive. Therefore, as I often say, we should work for the benefit of others. If we cannot help them, we should at least make sure we do no harm. I have found that helping others is the best way of ensuring happiness and calm for ourselves.
I also firmly believe that we can find peace in the world only when we find peace within. Every human being has the potential to cultivate inner peace, and by so doing to contribute to the peace of our global community.
We must try to cultivate compassion and inner peace, regardless of our nationality or religion, we can contribute to the well-being and happiness of all mankind. If the last century was the century of violence, it is our responsibility to make this century the century of dialogue.
Once again, I extend warm greetings to you all. I hope that you all enjoy an auspicious beginning to the new year, 2024.
With prayers and good wishes,
Dalai Lama
Nature (lunar cycles) is constantly reminding us about the grave and beauty of Change. This too will change. Just realizing acceptance of the moment allows me to@see@the change in every moment. ❤️🙏🏽 #change#vipassana#nature#love
As human beings, we all want to be happy. His Holiness the Dalai Lama says the key to this is finding peace of mind. In this short video he outlines how destructive emotions disturb our inner peace and steps we can take to secure it. https://t.co/FbcIVmZi7u
