“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.  Without them, humanity cannot survive.”   —   Dalai Lama

(In this age of sociopaths – and the unforgiving “politically correct” – it seems that empathy has left the building!  Everyone hears – and obeys – the voices of condemnation, and they’re ever so quick to jump on board that train.  If you don’t immediately agree with them . . . then you are just as bad.  Thank you social media, and the 24/7 news outlets!  Don’t be a ditto-head, folks!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.  If YOU want to be happy, practice compassion.”   —   Dalai Lama

(I think the Dalai Lama would tell us that we need to have compassion for our opponents/”enemies”, as well as those who agree with us.  None of us can afford to be ideologues.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.”   —   Dalai Lama

(I think he said this pointing to his head.  You have to want it.  You have to believe in it.  Just going through the motions usually won’t be enough.  Be well, think good . . . then do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(I once caddied for the Dalai Lama.  Big hitter, the Lama.  So we finish the 18th and he’s gonna stiff me.  And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”  And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.”  So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.   —   Carl Spackler     Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Happiness is not something ready-made.  It comes from your own actions.”   —   Dalai Lama

(You certainly can’t buy it.  You have to work for it.  Another strange day in the youth of a new millennium.  Looks like we’re going to survive it, despite the various prognostications.  Tomorrow is another day . . . again, friends.  Another opportunity to get/make things right.  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR
