As we move through life, it is important to take an accounting to figure out where we are and if we are on the correct path. The following advice by the Dali Lama applies to anyone anywhere and can help you mark your path.

Encountering sufferings will definitely contribute to the elevation of your spiritual practice, provided you are able to transform calamity and misfortune into the path.

Not to identify oneself with something, or to associate things with the me, and to see that the idea that there is a me which is distinct from things is a delusion that is true wisdom.

Spend some time alone every day.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

The creatures that inhabit this earth be they human beings or animals are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.

According to Buddhist practice, there are three stages or steps. The initial stage is to reduce attachment towards life. The second stage is the elimination of desire and attachment to this samsara. Then in the third stage, selfcherishing is eliminated.

Follow the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.

A great rock is not disturbed by the wind; the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honor or abuse.

To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

One who is caught in thought loses ones original nature. All he knows are words and descriptions, when he sees the actual thing, he fails to perceive it.

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

This lack of respect extends even to the earths human descendants, the future generations who will inherit a vastly degraded planet if world peace does not become a reality, and if destruction of the natural environment continues at the present rate.

Wisdom is the best guide and faith is the best companion. One must try to escape from the darkness of ignorance and suffering, and seek the light of Enlightenment.

Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.

Dont try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whateveryoualreadyare.
