Quotes from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Human values are important not only because they are written about in sacred books, but also because how happy our lives will be depends on them. Compassion and love have a positive effect on our physical condition, mental and emotional health, relationships at work and at home, and on the life of society as a whole. We need them for our own benefit. By showing compassion, first and foremost, we ourselves benefit.
