I'd Rather Be Kind Than Right. You

Don't Try To Use What You Learn From Buddhism To Be A Buddhist; Use It To Be A Better Whatever-you-al Ready-are.

The Purpose Of Our Life Needs To Be Positive. We Weren't Born With The Purpose Of Causing Trouble, Harming Others. For Our Life To Be Of Value, I Think We Must Develop Basic Good Human Qualities - Warmth, Kindness, Compassion. Then Our Life Becomes Meaningful And More Peaceful - Happier.

As Far As Ignorance Is Concerned, Not Just Buddhism, Every Religion Recognizes It As The Source Of Suffering.

So Long As We Are Under The Control Of Disturbing Emotions, Real Happiness Is Hard To Find.

I Became The Dalai Lama Not On A Volunteer Basis.
