#self- interest

[bestdalailamaquotes]

Make an effort to understand that our future depends on others

“I am committed to promoting a sense of the oneness of our human family. Wherever I go I remind people that we are all the same as human beings. The time has come to make an effort to understand that our future depends on others. In our own interest we must be concerned about others and take care of them. This is the wise way to ensure our self-interest.”

– His Holiness the Dalai Lama

[bestdalailamaquotes]

Building on inner strength and self-confidence we can develop the warm-heartedness that fosters concern for the welfare of others.

“Change must start with the individual. Building on inner strength and self-confidence we can develop the warm-heartedness that fosters concern for the welfare of others. Of course we have self-interest, but we should pursue our self-interest wisely by thinking of others, not foolishly and narrowly concerned only for ourselves.”

– His Holiness the Dalai Lama
