I'm still awake, been struggling with a bit of insomnia lately Did you know that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has an official Twitter account? He tweets quite frequently also. http://twitter.com/DalaiLama Some gems: quote: If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
quote: I believe a proper use of our time is to serve others if we can or at least refrain from harming them. That is the basis of my philosophy.
quote: At one level, all major religious traditions have the same aim – to transform the individual into a positive being.
quote: All the major religious traditions carry the message of love, compassion and forgiveness.
quote: A calm mind helps our human intelligence to assess the situation realistically.
quote: The efforts we make sincerely to transform ourselves spiritually are what make us genuine practitioners.
quote: All individuals are equal in that every one of us instinctively seeks happiness and avoids suffering.
quote: Only the inner protection of patience can keep us from experiencing the turmoil of negative thoughts and emotions.
quote: We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share.
quote: The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger.
quote: We can’t overcome anger and hatred by simply suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate their antidotes - patience and tolerance
quote: The practicing of loving kindness toward one's enemy is the ultimate test of one's own spiritual attainment.
quote: Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.
quote: Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.
