What a Fantastic meal last night! We loved the quirky extra touches. We had the best food we’ve had in a country pub since we first moved here over three years ago. Well done to all. We wish you lots of luck & hope you go from strength to strength .

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.

@ProfNoelFitz What a super human being you are 💖 my mum (83) has just read one of you books 4 days ago & is still telling anyone who will listen about how amazing you are 😊 keep on doing what you're doing ; we all, the canine world & humans alike need you 🐶 🌎 x

When you have peace of mind, it's easier to cope with problems. Real change will come about not as a result of prayer, but of using intelligence and taking action.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Reports of suffering are upsetting, but it's a mistake to think we can do nothing about it. Many problems we face are of our own making. Since we are social animals who need friends, the least we can do is smile and respond to others warm-heartedly—that will make a difference.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The more people learn to tackle their afflictive emotions, the more individuals will achieve peace of mind, and the more individuals achieve inner peace, the greater are the prospects for peace in the world.

Mentally and emotionally we humans are all the same. We can all feel anger and hatred, but also have the potential to cultivate compassion, forgiveness and tolerance. Since these constructive emotions are supported by reason, we can use our brains to develop and strengthen them.

@MrJonnyBenjamin @Fearnecotton @Chiswick_House @tatton_park @iAmLaurenMahon @PrincesTrust @bryony_gordon Gosh what a fantastic talk you gave yesterday. My daughter and I sat in the crowd totally enthralled by your story . It really didn't matter about the technology failing, you spoke incredibly well, are incredibly brave & are a wonderful advocate for mental health awareness. X

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

One of the lessons we need to learn is how to cultivate those positive emotions that counter destructive emotions like anger and fear. Compassion, for example, brings self-confidence and the ability to act transparently. It strengthens trust which is the ground for friendship.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Young children don’t care about differences of nationality, faith or race. So long as their companions smile, they play together happily. It seems it’s only as we grow up, in the course of education, that focussing on secondary differences between people creates trouble.

“Crown shyness is a phenomenon in which the crowns of trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps in order to prevent abrasions or collisions with neighbours”.

Even trees respect each other, we could learn something from them.💚

@henryfraser0 Such a brilliant photo 👍

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

It’s useful to reflect not only on how anger, fear and suspicion destroy our peace of mind, but also on how peace of mind gives us the confidence to act honestly and truthfully. We are social animals and we need friends. We make friends on the basis of trust.
