Be it resolved...

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If love is defined as a wish that others be happy and compassion as the wish that they be free from suffering, and you cultivate love and compassion within yourself, it will ensure happiness, good health and peace of mind.

A way forward for each one of us... #servicebeforeself #hope

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

For some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, we first of all have to have a wish to be happy ourselves – if we don’t love ourselves like that, how can we love others?

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.

Do something positive for someone else each day - like a pebble dropped in a pond, the kindness you show will ripple out..,

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We need to be determined to achieve positive change, and also be able to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat. One person can be the source of inspiration for many others.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but what needs to be acknowledged is that that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.

[Dan Bailey @DanimalBailey]

Let’s focus on creating concentric circles of compassion towards ourselves and others.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The creation of a more peaceful and happier society has to begin from the level of the individual, and from there it can expand to one's family, to one's neighborhood, to one's community and so on.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Kindness and a good heart are the foundation for success in this life, progress on the spiritual path, and the fulfillment of our aspirations. Our need for them is not limited to any specific time, place, society, or culture.

[Dan Bailey @DanimalBailey]

@xxlfunny1 Great!

[Dan Bailey @DanimalBailey]

Let’s place a greater value on respect, kindheartedness, and peacefulness toward others than we do on stuff...

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

For many people, the only tangible value is money. And of course money has its place, but the value of cultivating a compassionate attitude is much more effective. When we only pay attention to material values, there’s little room for concern for others, or for mutual regard.

[Dan Bailey @DanimalBailey]

Take a deep breath and maybe think about the things you have to be thankful for and how you might help others.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Leaving aside the perspective of spiritual practice, even in worldly terms, in terms of our enjoying a happy day-to-day existence, the calmer our minds are, the greater our peace of mind will be and the greater will be our ability to enjoy a happy and joyful life.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Problems will always arise, but we need to address them differently. We need to engage in dialogue to resolve them rather than resorting to the use of force. #PeaceDayChallenge

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We are intelligent, we have seed of compassion from birth. Using reason and intelligence we can enhance our sense of compassion and come to understand how its opposite, anger, is harmful.
