Dalai Lama



As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacle to inner peace are disturbing emotions
such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion, while love
and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility are
the sources of peace and happiness.

You do not need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait,
do not even wait, be still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you
to be unmasked, it has no choice.
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
