	Recent comments in The Top 100 Teachings Of The Dalai Lama DalaiLama: Cultivating inner awareness, introspection and reasoning can be more effective than meditation and prayer. Thinking is more effective than hoping.... DJ 12:41:33 \| 31 Jan 2012 Given human beings' love of truth, justice, peace, and freedom, creating a better, more compassionate world is a genuine possibility. Well, it's certainly a 'possibility'... DJ 08:05:37 \| 16 Nov 2011 Even a small experience of altruism brings a measure of mental peace right away. Is that then the source of altruism - personal desire for mental peace? DJ 20:08:46 \| 25 Aug 2011 Review of The practice of cultivating altruism has a beneficial effect not only from a religious point of view but also from a mundane point of view. Nice post.. a great call to others to contribute unselfishly to their community, which is a worthwhile endeavour... however, I'd like to have seen you explore the human motivation for altruism further. What about examining the argument that ALL human actions are driven by a neural 'reward mechanism', and are therefore ultimately selfish..... just a thought ;-) DJ 07:51:55 \| 27 Jul 2011 Review of The practice of cultivating altruism has a beneficial effect not only from a religious point of view but also from a mundane point of view. Will check it out later today and be back...! ;-) DJ 08:34:42 \| 26 Jul 2011 We should value our enemies because they provide us with unique opportunities to practice patience, tolerance and forbearance. It's your many enemies that have given you the skills to be able to listen to SC without damaging nearby ornaments... DJ 15:03:14 \| 4 Jun 2011 We should value our enemies because they provide us with unique opportunities to practice patience, tolerance and forbearance. Does this include Simon Cowell? Not that he's my enemy but I do have to practise those qualities when I listen to him ... Daddy Papersurfer 10:06:15 \| 4 Jun 2011 To arrive at certainty, you need to start from a skeptical posture. The best scientists are impartial, not swayed by their own beliefs. The most sensible thing I have read all day! DJ 19:14:49 \| 26 May 2011 The aim of spiritual practice is to become the friend of all beings, concerned about them and ready and able to help them. A worthy objective... DJ 04:57:07 \| 21 May 2011 To the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it can serve as the basis of compassion and love. I would agree with the empathy bit. But yeah, no point to needlessly suffer ;) sTubbuLon5 07:34:40 \| 20 May 2011 To the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it can serve as the basis of compassion and love. Whoops! I'm disagreeing with the Dalai Lama, again! [If] suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others...it [may] serve as the basis of compassion and love. Does it? andrewgoulding 02:33:29 \| 20 May 2011 Compassion and love are the source of all spiritual qualities: forgiveness, tolerance, all the virtues. Thought for the day.... Sparkly Aph 10:01:13 \| 29 Apr 2011 From the first day of our life until our last breath, the very foundation of our existence is affection and human warmth. So true, so true.....a little reminder to some occasionally would make the world a better place. Sparkly Aph 13:28:43 \| 24 Apr 2011 When we are open to others and ready to show them our friendship and affection, this immediately creates a good environment. lol - agreed! sTubbuLon5 20:07:51 \| 22 Apr 2011 When we are open to others and ready to show them our friendship and affection, this immediately creates a good environment. True. But not an earth-shattering observation. DJ 08:40:15 \| 22 Apr 2011 Developing love and compassion and reducing anger and spite is a universal activity which requires no faith in any religion whatsoever. Indeed.. just a bit of reflection and self-control... DJ 08:04:32 \| 22 Apr 2011 Due to the fundamental interconnectedness that lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. A HUGE T-Rex fan, I hear... :-) DJ 04:20:11 \| 30 Mar 2011 Due to the fundamental interconnectedness that lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. So, can I assume that the Dalai Lama is into Glam Rock? Get it on, bang a gong, Om. andrewgoulding 00:30:11 \| 30 Mar 2011 Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others is the ultimate source of success in life. If everyone did a little bit of this the world would be a better place.... Sparkly Aph 08:22:44 \| 17 Mar 2011 If we want to help humanity in a practical way, we must begin by setting an example of mutual respect, harmony and cooperation. I think that distribution of free gingernuts would help as well ...... Daddy Papersurfer 18:11:00 \| 23 Feb 2011 Large human movements spring from individual human initiatives. The Dalai Lama has a great sense of humour - you can tell that by the way he wears dresses ...... Daddy Papersurfer 17:15:50 \| 19 Feb 2011 Large human movements spring from individual human initiatives. I'm not sure you're taking this entirely seriously... ! >:^p Spiny Norman 17:09:57 \| 19 Feb 2011 Large human movements spring from individual human initiatives. ....... and curry of course ....... Daddy Papersurfer 16:53:51 \| 19 Feb 2011 Developing love and compassion and reducing anger and spite is a universal activity which requires no faith in any religion whatsoever So true.. these are natural human values that we should all nurture regardless of our beliefs.. DJ 19:07:52 \| 14 Feb 2011 I would like to say that the very root of respect for human rights and nonviolence is love and kindness to others Love and Kindness to others......remember this when driving!! Sparkly Aph 08:41:05 \| 13 Feb 2011 The whole purpose of engaging in the practice of patience is to become stronger in mind, stronger in heart. Or.... to simply stop you tearing your hair out while waiting in call-centre queues.... DJ 08:53:22 \| 4 Feb 2011 Mutual respect is the foundation of genuine harmony. It's astonishing how many people don't 'get' this simple concept... DJ 12:01:29 \| 19 Jan 2011 Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes. Happy in yourself happy in the world :-) Stay smiley Sparkly Aph 07:45:45 \| 8 Jan 2011 Achieving genuine happiness may require bringing about a transformation in your outlook and way of thinking. Undeniably true, but not really earth-shattering insight either. If your life isn't perfect you may have to reevaluate. Huh. DJ 08:43:32 \| 22 Dec 2010 Not only do we inherently possess the potential for compassion but I believe that the basic, underlying nature of human beings is gentleness "underlying nature of human beings is gentleness." - I'm guessing that HHDL has not spent much time working in an investment bank trading room. DJ 09:33:22 \| 20 Dec 2010
