QotD: What Surprises the Dalai Lama
Jul. 15th, 2011 07:33 amWhat the Dalai Lama said when asked what surprises him most:
Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
