A Gift of Dharma for 7.7.10
Today’s quote is yet another from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whom I first quoted and wrote a short biography for in this post. He celebrates his 75th birthday this week, and we wish him a happy one. This is it–courtesy of my Insight from the Dalai Lama Desk Calendar:
Living in society, we must share the suffering of our fellow citizens and practice compassion and tolerance not only toward our loved ones but also toward our enemies. This is the test of our moral strength. We must set an example by our own practice. We must live by the same high standards of integrity we seek to convey to others. The ultimate purpose is to serve and benefit the world.
