The Dalai Lama's 18 Rules for Living

Keep in mind he just released these for the new millennium. These are just very wise suggestions they're not rules.

A very wise peaceful soul. We could all learn from this man.

It always seems that the interesting one are videos and that they always come out during work-time. Guess I'll have to wait till after

I have a great rule for living

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And along the way, lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you Neil deGrasse Tyson

it is written clearly “rules” on the cover - which proves clearly where the dalai lama and his machinery are coming from and going to: to the ones who don’t think for themselves.

have you ever read any of the dalai lama’s books? have you not found them to be very boring?

I was expecting much more profound stuffs.

We're very very Far from Dzogchen here.

Here's his unspoken 19th Rule: Never become a viable threat to anybody and you will live long. If he actually had a chance at making a change in Tibet, he would have been dead a long time ago.

My favorite is #17 on the video - “Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”

Another quote of his I particularly like:

Indeed. He is a wonderful man. "if you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito." Also by him.

I ran across one I hadn't seen before, and thought I would add it.

"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live." - Dalai Lama
