“Peace of mind and physical well-being are closely related. Some years ago, a scientist at Emory University told me that continuous anger, fear and suspicion tend to eat into our immune system. Besides, peace of mind and warm-heartedness bring us confidence.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

” A Call”
A Call On that Sunday morning, When the world laughs with their leisure activities You too have received that call From afar Distant Home, On that morning Just before breakfast was served Your phone beeps And you have received that call From an unknown number You have heard a Familiar voice Quite and Quavering You got a News The news that nails our heart And that call All of a sudden, ripped us apart all at once, Dark and Gloomy The world began to fall and fade away We were left dumb and numb And you have received that call That we Exilic brothers were born to bear That call which we don’t want to receive And You have picked it, And You bowed down to a table Black and blind, numb and dumb You left dead in despair You have received that call That,,, that,,,,, call Which I don’t want to receive That,,, that,,,, call You have picked and heard “Your Mother Passed Away” By: Sonsnow
Hope
“Our lives depend on hope. If you have hope, you’ll be able to overcome problems you face. But if you’re without hope, your difficulties will increase. Hope is linked to compassion and loving kindness.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
We must take actions
“There is time for us to create a better, happier world, but we can’t sit back and expect a miracle. We each have actions we must take, by living our lives meaningfully — helping others whenever we can and making every effort to do them no harm.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Overcome fear
“Our intelligence helps us regulate our emotions. Fear, for example, is based on mistrust and a lack of self-confidence. If, on the other hand, we remain honest and truthful, open and tolerant, we will not only have greater self-confidence we’ll easily overcome fear.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Receiving His Holiness
Genuine affection
“The ability to smile seems to be unique to human beings. As social animals we need friends. Friendship is based on trust and trust grows when we show each other genuine affection. If we are honest, truthful and of service to others, we can also feel self-confident.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Health of the planet
“People today may feel anxious about the future, but we can take strength from the fact that more and more of us are genuinely concerned to protect the environment, taking account of the welfare of the whole of humanity, as well as the health of the planet, our only home.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
21st Century
“Entering into dialogue and talking things through is the only proper way of restraining people intent on perpetuating violent conflict. It is important to make clear that in the 21st century old ways of thinking, such as dependence on the use of force, are no longer appropriate.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Oneness of Humanity
“Today, there is too strong a sense of ‘us’ and ‘them’. There’s too much sense of ‘my friends’ or ‘my enemy’. But we can change that. I’m committed to the idea of the oneness of humanity. As human beings we are all the same. What’s more we all have to live together on this planet.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
