Instructions on Life
These instructions were developed from the Dali Lama’s lifetime of prayer and contemplation. The Dali Lama has dedicated his life to promoting the human values of compassion, forgiveness, tolerance and self-discipline.
- Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
- When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
- Follow the three Rs:
a) Respect self
b) Respect others
c) Responsibility of all your actions
- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stoke of luck.
- Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
- Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
- When you realize a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
- Spend some time alone every day.
- Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
- Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
- Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
- A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
- In disagreements with loved ones, deal only the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
- Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
- Be gentle to the earth.
- Once a year, go to someplace you have never been before.
- Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds the need for each other.
- Judge your success by what you had to give away in order to get it.
- Approach love and cooking with the same reckless abandon.
