Dalai Lama XIV
“It is not happiness that makes us grateful, it’s gratefulness that makes us happy.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

A. Helwa
“Death begs us to anchor our happiness not on what is fleeting, but rather on Allah, whose love is eternal and unchanging. Death reminds us that the only thing that is real and unchanging is God. Everything else in existence, whether it be good or bad, will eventually perish. As the great Tibetan master Jetsun Milarepa poetically said, “The sound of thunder, although deafening, is harmless; the rainbow, despite its brilliant colors does not last; this world, though it appears pleasant, is like a dream; the pleasures of the senses, though agreeable, ultimately lead to disillusionment.”
A. Helwa

Dalai Lama XIV
“When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.”
Dalai Lama
