Happiness is deeply linked to our wisdom, and our philosophies of life. The Dalai Lama represents one of nowadays most interesting philosophies of life.
The key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

We should devote our most serious efforts to bringing about mental peace. From my own limited experience, I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquillity comes from the development of love and compassion.

The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.

I try to treat whomever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion.
