Dalai Lama Quotes, Practice Quotes, People Quotes

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.

Likewise, the places that we will experience in future rebirths will be the outcome of the karma that we share with the other beings living there. The actions of each of us, human or nonhuman, have contributed to the world in which we live. We all have a common responsibility for our world and are connected with everything in it.
