"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."
- Dalai Lama XIV
"I took note of the Buddha's teaching that in one sense a supposed enemy is more valuable than a friend, for an enemy teaches you things, such as forbearance, that a friend generally does not."
"Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice."
"As a Buddhist, I see no distinction between religious practice and daily life. Religious practice is a twenty-four hour occupation."
"If people are suffering then they must look within themselves. ... Happiness is not something ready-made [Buddha] can give you. It comes from your own actions."
- The Dalai Lama
"If you want others to be happy practice compassion. If you want to be happy practice compassion."
