HERE ARE THE WORDS OF THE DALAI LAMA. HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING AND FEEL THESE WORDS.


Here are beautiful guidelines from His Holiness The Dalai Lama for living an ethical life. At their heart is a way to keep ourselves from harming others and to cultivate a path of virtue in the world. Read here his Ten Virtuous Actions:
SIMPLE SOLUTION: “Self-interest is at the root of any intention to harm others; it is not wholesome. Therefore, a bodhisattva restrains the attitude of self-interest. What does self-interest mean? We do not talk about completely forgetting ourselves, because in order to strive for buddahood, a bodhisattva must develop strong, determined self-confidence. But we have to clearly distinguish between this and an inferior kind of self-cherishing. This can be accomplished by following the Ten Virtuous Actions”—His Holiness The Dalai Lama:

• Protecting and saving life

• Giving and not taking what is not given

• Treating your partner respectfully—respecting your marriage vows

• Speaking honestly

• Speaking with the goal to bring harmony among beings

• Speaking gently

• Refraining from gossip

• Being happy for others’ accomplishments

• Being loving toward all

• Having a view that includes karma and understands the middle way between the two extreme views of eternalism and nihilism, accompanied by the two kinds of accumulations (of merit and wisdom)
