Author of quotes: The Dalai Lama
If we carefully consider the feelings of intense lust or anger, we can see that the root of these experiences lies in our partial attitude towards the object towards which they are directed. And if we continue this consideration at a deeper level, we will find that at the core of all this is our passionate attachment to our sense of self, or our ego.

People in one culture may find food disgusting that is considered a delicacy in another culture. We can even “develop a taste” for food by learning how to enjoy something we previously considered unappetizing. All this reveals to us the fact that such a reaction is our subjective projection and the basis for it does not exist by itself in any of the objects we perceive.

We must learn to forgive ourselves. Say this: “I made a mistake in the past, but it won’t happen again. I’m human, so I’m capable of correcting mistakes.” If we have lost hope, it means we have not forgiven ourselves.

If someone thinks only about himself, without thinking about what is happening to the people around him, then he demonstrates his very narrow outlook, ossified mind and rough heart.

We usually view people and things as good or bad according to our preferences. We call good what we like and bad what we don't like. Such assessments are generated by our mind. If beauty were inherent in specific objects, then we would all be irresistibly attracted to certain people and things.

If you are shackled by fears and unsure of yourself, if it seems to you that none of your undertakings will succeed, then stop for a minute and consider your condition. Try to understand why you imagine yourself a failure before you get down to business. You will not find any worthwhile reason. This difficulty originates in your way of thinking, not in the present state of affairs.

When you help someone, don't be content with just solving their immediate difficulties - for example, by giving them money. Give the person in need the means to resolve their difficulty on their own.
