I’ve sometimes joked and said God doesn’t know very much math, because when you give to others, it should be that you are subtracting from yourself. But in this incredible kind of way — I’ve certainly found that to be the case so many times — you gave and it then seems like in fact you are making space for more to be given to you.

Additional quotes by Tenzin Gyatso

I believe each human being has the potential to change, to transform one’s own attitude, no matter how difficult the situation.

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.
