In Mindful Enlightenment The Dalai Lama explains how we can obtain tranquil abiding -- the single cultivation of the mind. Most of the time we experience consciousness through our internal and external interactions. Through daily practice, if we clear away all obstructions and allow the true nature of the mind to shine luminously in the simple present moment of experience, we will be enlightened.

In Cultivating Compassion, The Dalai Lama explores the three levels of understanding. Understanding derived through listening or study, understanding derived through reception and thinking, and understanding derived through meditation and practice. Through meditation, we can generate genuine compassion and by clearing away attachment and aversion, we can better practice compassion in our daily life.

According to the Dalai Lama, the very purpose of our life is happiness, joyfulness, inner peace and inner strength. We must have the self-confidence to become aware of our own potential and our own life purpose. By training our mind and our mental perception, we can change our lives and change the world.
Only during a time when we have so little faith in one another, so little confidence in the willingness of others to do what is right, can a strong voice emerge to dispel disillusionment and show us hope. It takes a person of great courage, such as the Dalai Lama, to face these times and say there is hope.
There is an argument to be made for basic human goodness. The number of people who spend their lives being violent or dishonest is tiny compared with the number of people -- the vast majority we don't hear about -- who would wish others only well. According to the Dalai Lama, our survival has depended and will depend on our basic goodness. "Much more effective and important than legislation is our regard for one another's feelings at a simple human level...Here, I refer to the capacity we all have to empathize with one another...to arrive at the inability to bear the sight of another's suffering." The Dalai Lama presents an ethical system that not only is based on common sense and reason, as opposed to religious dogma or punitive legislation, but has as its goal ultimate happiness for every individual.
The Dalai Lama demonstrates that human beings are better than we think we are, and that a society and a life that cultivate love and compassion are completely within our reach. If enough people operate from the understanding of their "original purity," a global revolution of peace will ensue.
