Wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama
One of the many profound teachings you’ll find inside.
The ultimate source of a happy mind and healthy body is your own mental attitude. Thinking only about yourself—having a very self-centered attitude—creates a lot of anxiety, loneliness, fear, and anger. This is very bad for your own peace of mind and for your health. Scientists say constant fear and anger do great damage to your immune system.
We are social animals. An individual’s happy life depends on the rest of the community. An extreme self-centered attitude is the opposite of that. You prefer distance from other people because you are self-centered and feel you are something very important.
Now let’s look at the other way—having a sense of concern for others’ well-being. That attitude is the opposite of self-centered narrow-mindedness. So logically, all the negative things that are created by a self-centered attitude are reduced when you care for others.
Just look at how people smile. If we examine people who easily show a genuine human smile, we see they experience more peace. But when people have an artificial smile, I think it shows that inside they are a little bit distant from others.
Children who receive maximum affection from their parents and friends are usually very happy… That’s human nature. There is no need for philosophy, no need for research. Everybody experiences that, right from the beginning of life.
—His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, from “The Ultimate Happiness,” an exclusive Lion’s Roar interview.
