The Dalai Lama is a man who saw his own country violently conquered. It would be all too easy to become bitter. But instead, he forgives and loves. He puts all of our measly everyday squabbles to shame. If he can find compassion for his invaders, we too can find it for our rude coworkers, family feuds, and former friends.

No matter the question, love is always the answer. Forgiveness is freeing. You can find the video “loving kindness meditation” on my YouTube. This meditation will help you in filling your heart with more love and less hatred. More on why suffering lies where there is hatred in my book, The Way Out Of Suffering.
