The essence of all spiritual life is your
emotion, your attitude towards others. Once you have a pure and
sincere motivation, all the rest follows. You can develop this
right attitude toward others on the basis of kindness, love, and
respect and on the clear realization of the oneness of human beings.
—His Holiness Fourteenth Dalai Lama
