“I’m just a simple Buddhist monk but I’m trying to help others lead a happy life, to learn to appreciate what a difference it makes to find peace of mind. That’s my dream. One of my main practices is the cultivation of altruism — it’s what I think about the moment I wake up.”

Altruism
“As soon as I wake up, I think about altruism. I reflect on the verse that says, “So long as space remains, I will remain in order to serve sentient beings.” This gives me inner strength and determination, so there’s no longer any danger of destructive emotions arising.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
