The Dalai Lama: Expanding Our Circle of Caring


Want to be happier? Step outside the narrow confines of self-interest,
into the spaciousness of compassion and connection...
 
"The moment you think only of yourself,
the focus of your whole mind narrows, and
because of this narrow focus uncomfortable things 
can appear huge and bring you fear and
discomfort and a sense of feeling overwhelmed
by misery. The moment you think of others with
a sense of caring, however, your mind widens.
Within that wider angel, your own problems appear
to be of no significance, and this
makes a difference.

- HH the Dalai Lama
