“My mother first gave me the gift of a woman’s compassion. Now is the time to change our old ways of thinking – gender, color, no difference.”

In the past, social customs and cultural tradition may have held women back, but modern times favor equality and education has brought equality of opportunity. But on the material side, we place all our hopes in seeing if we can get past the limit.” Nobody pays much attention to mental development. With mental development, there’s no limit, so it’s better not to be contented about that. “Where material development is concerned, there are always limits, so in that context it’s better to practise contentment. Also, being truthful and honest is a basis for hope and self-confidence.” I’ve faced all sorts of difficulties in my life, but I never gave up hope. Hope is linked to compassion and loving kindness.

But if you’re without hope, your difficulties will increase. If you have hope, you’ll be able to overcome problems you face. But if you accept that suffering is a natural part of existence, this will help you withstand life’s adversities.” If you see suffering as negative and to be avoided at all costs and in some sense as a sign of failure, this will add a sense of anxiety and intolerance when you encounter difficult circumstances, a feeling of being overwhelmed. “How you perceive life as a whole plays a role in your attitude to suffering. If we set ourselves positive goals and we’re well-motivated to seek the well-being of others, no matter what difficulties we face, we should keep up our strength and remain determined.” “We should never give up or tell ourselves there’s no hope. “ The ultimate source of happiness for self and others is compassion, concern for others and being of service to them.” On Hope If you have peace of mind, you’ll be happy by night and day.” However, real happiness is not about having money or power, it’s about achieving inner peace. But lasting happiness is related to our state of mind.” “We experience happiness on a sensory level that is relatively short-lived. “We need to be clear which emotions are harmful and which are helpful then cultivate those that are conducive to peace of mind.” “There are two kinds of happiness – the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind.” May these words of wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama bring you joy, hope, and strength.
