Inner Richness is Real Wealth - His Holiness the Dalai Lama describes warm-heartedness as our inner richness — the real wealth money cannot provide. A compassionate mind reduces anger and jealousy, the destroyers of our inner peace. Without that inner richness, even plenty of money brings little meaning. A happy life, family, and humanity all depend on the wealth we carry within. Video originally recorded on October 15, 2016.

Education With Warm Heartedness - His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains that a good education has to go hand in hand with a kind and open heart — knowledge alone isn't enough to build a good life. Video originally recorded on December 7, 2018.

Concern yourselves more with the needs of others, with the needs of all humanity, and you'll have peace of mind. Selfishness creates a distance between us and other people, leading to suspicion and mistrust, ultimately resulting in loneliness. Think of others' well-being and you’ll be happy.

THANK YOU MESSAGE

I would like to thank you all for your greetings on my 91st birthday. As I mentioned to those gathered here in Leh, Ladakh, India on 6 July, when I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.

Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life's primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.

As you may be aware, following a successful medical procedure on my left knee in New Delhi last month, I have since been recuperating here in Ladakh. As in past years, I find the climate here at this time of year well suited to my health, and I therefore plan to remain in Ladakh for the next several weeks.

With my prayers and good wishes,

DALAI LAMA

Do not find fault in others. Do not injure others, but live in accordance with the Dharma. Be moderate in eating and sleeping, and meditate on the highest. This sums up the teachings of the Buddhas.

As soon as I wake up in the morning. I remind myself that nothing exists as it appears. Then I think about sentient beings who want happiness but experience suffering. I generate compassion for them, determined to help them as much as I can to eliminate their negative emotions.
