"I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the
very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I
have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our
own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others
automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or
insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we
encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not
solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness
on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace."
~Dalai Lama XIV
