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.

Cool! It makes me smile to think of him sitting at his computer, adjusting his glasses, doling out these words of wisdom to the masses on the Internet.

Developing altruism is one of the most powerful methods for countering negative tendencies and destructive impulses.

Take that Ayn Rand. Put that in your cigarette, and smoke it.
