Dalai Lama Quotes, Selfish Quotes, Helping Others Quotes

We can't be useful to ourselves unless we're useful to others .... Anyone concerned only by his own well-being will suffer eventually.

Samsara - our conditioned existence in the perpetual cycle of habitual tendencies and nirvana - genuine freedom from such an existence- are nothing but different manifestations of a basic continuum. So this continuity of consciousness us always present. This is the meaning of tantra.
