Instructions for Life by The Dalai Lama

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Follow the three R’s:
-  Respect for self
-  Respect for others and
-  Responsibility for all your actions.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend some time alone every day.
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

The Dalai Lama is cool beans! I took world religions and have always loved the Eastern religions. I love all of the religions, and combine the best of all into a stew. Anything that can bring peace and understanding to humanity cannot be bad.

You sound like revolutionaries dear Margy
God bless America and be careful and also remember :
Achieving freedom and justice requires endless struggle
You never get 100% of the value but you get what you spend for and
From place to place to place " price " varies .
The most expensive one you might find in IRAN

Isn't it.
God has created us free with our own will, and no one goes to heaven or hell by force.

Thanks Dear margy
I always try to knock to your group and say hi
Sometimes I miss people I met in America
I don't complain I have a middle class life here
But freedom is something else
