More From Dalai Lama

Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

What a sight there is in that "smile!" it changes like a chameleon. there is a vacant smile, a cold smile, a smile of hate, a satiric smile, an affected smile; but, above all, a smile of love.

Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?

I love smiles. that is a fact. how to develop smiles? there are a variety of smiles. some smiles are sarcastic. some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. these smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. but a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. if we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.
Sarcastic Giving Want
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
Hands Sorrow Able
Why they always look so serious in yoga? you make serious face like this, you scare away good energy. to meditate, only you must smile. smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy. even smile in your liver. practice tonight at hotel. not to hurry, not to try too hard. too serious, you make you sick. you can calling the good energy with a smile. (from ketut liyer, the balinese healer)

It does not matter how many tumbles you have in this life, so long as you do not get dirty when you tumble; it is only the people who have to stop to be washed and made clean, who must necessarily lose the race. and i can assure you that there is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures early in life. you learn that which is of inestimable importance
