Instructions for Life by The Dalai Lama

If you think about the article, it really is what we all know inside our hearts & souls, but because of our hectic, fast pased lifestyles we tend not to listen to our hearts and souls anymore. we let our ego's run our lives. In the world there are only a very few people i.e. The Dali Lama, Nelson Mandela, etc... who we as a general public actually sit up and listen to. It takes a very special person to ignite this kind of passion in the world wide community. Thank-you...
