Dalai Lama - Wisdom part 1
SPIRITUAL LIFE
If we can realise and meditate on ultimate truth, it will cleanse our impurities of mind and thus eradicate the sense of discrimination.
Meditation should form the basis for action.
In the search for ultimate truth, if it fails to dawn on us, it is we who have not found it. Ultimate truth exists. If we think deeply and reflect carefully, we shall realise that we ourselves have our existence in ultimate truth.
It is said that we should renounce this life. That dosn't mean that we should go hungry or not take care of this lifetime at all, but that we should reduce our attachment to affairs that are limited to this lifetime.
If inside you possess good qualities, such as compassion or spiritual forgiveness, then external factors will not affect the internal peace of the mind.
