Good Karma...mantra to share


Compliments of the Dalai Lama

More people should embody his teachings...

1.Take into account that great love and achievement involve great risk.

2.When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

3.Follow the three R's:
___Respect for self
___Respect for others
___Resposibility for all your actions

4.Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

5.Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

6.When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate actions to correct it.

7.Spend some time alone every day.

8.Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

9.remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

10.Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and look back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

11.A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

12.In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the curreent situation. Don't bring up the past.

13.Share your knowledge-it's a way to achieve immortality.

14.Be gentle with the earth.

15.Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

16.Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for eachother exceeds your need for eachother.

17.Jugde your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

My Addition to this is really pretty simple:
Speaking from experience............I am a strong believer in the "Golden Rule"
If you treat people as you would hope to be treated, Karma will find it's way....ten fold.
