Quotes of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

In everyday life, when it happens that you encounter suffering and lose heart, it is important to encourage yourself. And it is also necessary to ground yourself when overly agitated. If you have the courage to look difficulties and adversity in the face, they will not throw you off your inner balance. Some lose their presence of mind in the face of poverty; others begin to put on airs after acquiring a little wealth. The best thing is to maintain constancy in the face of both suffering and happiness.
