This is the beauty of our human life: we have the indestructible Buddha potentials which have been with us since beginningless time, and we have the perfect opportunity to realize and develop them in this lifetime. https://t.co/jEax2GEYc8
If we put ourselves in situations with good friends - people who keep good ethical conduct, who talk and speak in a beneficial way, who are honest - then we help our good karma to ripen whereby we have the opportunity to practice Dharma more.

We get very attached to our reputation, but it’s just other people’s thoughts. What is much more valuable is our motivation: if we act with a kind attitude, if we act with compassion, if we act motivated by love.

All sentient beings have the potential to become Buddhas, for we all have the clear nature of the mind. At the present our mind is clouded by afflictive emotions and actions...
The first step of the path is to look at the situation we’re in, see how unsatisfactory it is, figure out if there is a way to counteract it, and then to go about doing it. To do this, we have to look critically at our life experience.

When I meet people, I just think of myself as another human being, I don’t think about being a Buddhist, a Tibetan or the Dalai Lama, just a human being — I find it’s easier to make friends that way. And I find that a smile is a true expression of friendship.
No one creates lessons for us to learn. Whether we learn from our experiences is up to us. Do we blame others for our difficulties or do we examine our own conceptions, afflictions and behavior, and apply the Dharma counterforces to transform them? https://t.co/q9oyFKaVUH
