We are all the same as human beings, we all want to lead a happy life. We can think of every day as a new day. When we wake up we can remind ourselves – ‘I need to be happy, I need to have warm feelings towards others. This builds self-confidence, honesty, transparency, which leads to trust. And trust is the basis of friendship. We are social animals and we need friends.
Text from the Dalai Lama Facebook-page.
Everyone is my teacher. Some I seek. Some I subconsciously attract. Often I learn simply by observing others. Some may be completely unaware that I’m learning from them, yet I bow deeply in gratitude.

Do not use Buddhism to become a Buddhist. Use it to become better at whatever else in your life that you are doing already.
Dalai Lama
Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.
Herman Hesse
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of all that and still be calm in your heart.

I looked in temples, churches and mosques. But I found the Divine within my heart.
