More From Dalai Lama

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. when we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. what does this tell us? firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. for it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.
Happiness Spiritual Mean
The hardest thing when you think about focusing. you think focusing is about saying "yes." no. focusing is about saying "no." and when you say "no," you piss off people.

We are driven by self-interest, it’s necessary to survive. but we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others’ interests into account. co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness. once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.
Wise Bullying Cheating
Friends, genuine friends, are attracted by a warm heart, not money, not power. a genuine friend considers you as just another human being, as a brother or sister, and shows affection on that level, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, or in a high position; that is a genuine friend.
Brother Heart Rich Or Poor
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. it comes from within. from understanding what we lost. it comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. it comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. the pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. it comes from knowing we can never be children again.
Children Pain Knowing
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. it is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. more important than being loved, therefore, is to love.
