| Quote of the moment |
| Laziness will stop your progress in your spiritual practice. One can be deceived by three types of laziness: the laziness of indolence, which is the wish to procrastinate; the laziness of inferiority, which is doubting your capabilities; and the laziness that is attachment to negative actions, or putting great effort into nonvirtue. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Oppression has never, anywhere, succeeded in suppressing the eternal desire of peeople to live as free men - free to think their own thoughts, free to act as they consider best for the common welfare and live as human beings - not as robots or slaves. Even if the Chinese leave nothing but ashes in our sacred land, Tibet will rise from these ashes as a free country even if it takes a long time to do so. No imperialist power has succeeded in keeping other people in colonial subjection for long. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, November 2, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
