I took a few lines from the above book in the below
that I felt were good widening my perspective in life.
If something can be done about the situation,
what need is there for dejection?
And if nothing can be done about it,
What use is there for being dejected?
Wherever you have friends, that's your country,
and wherever you receive love, that's your home.
Concept of Ubuntu:
A person is a person through other persons.
Dalai Lama said, "When you become a refugee,
you get closer to life because there is no room
for pretense. In this way, you get closer to truth."
If I replace the word, refugee, with immigrant,
I see the statement applies equally well.
Suffering can either embitter us or ennoble us.
Difference lies in whether we are able to find meaning
in our suffering.
The true measure of spiritual development is how one
confronts one's own mortality.
The best way is when one is able to approach death with joy;
next best way is without fear; third best way is at least not to have regrets.
I prefer to go to hell than to heaven.
I can solve more problems in hell.
I can help more people there. --- Dalai Lama
Marriages, even the best ones ---perhaps especially the best ones ---
are an ongoing process of spoken and unspoken forgiveness.
Prayer is when we speak to God, and
meditation is when God answers.
Perspective is nothing less than the skull key that opens
all of the locks that imprison our happiness.
