More From Dalai Lama

Creating-that is the great salvation from suffering, and life's alleviation. but for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation.

If a psychological maxwell devises a general theory of mind, he may make it possible for a psychological einstein to follow with a theory that the mental and the physical are really the same. but this could happen only at the end of a process which began with the recognition that the mental is something completely different from the physical world as we have come to know it through a certain highly successful form of detached objective understanding. only if the uniqueness of the mental is recognized will concepts and theories be devised especially for the purpose of understanding it.

Healing ourselves on the spiritual level involves developing a strong connection with our soul. we heal ourselves on the mental level as we become aware of our core beliefs, release those that limit us, and open to more supportive ideas and greater understanding. emotional healing takes place as we learn to accept and experience the full range of our feelings. and we heal ourselves on the physical level when we learn to honor and care for our bodies, and for the physical world around us.

The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? that tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

Sensory experience does not offset the intense pain or pleasure we feel on a mental level; it may distract us, but doesn't overcome it. on the other hand, if we have peace of mind, even negative experiences do not upset us. peace of mind is also good for our physical health. medical experts have found that anger, hatred and fear eat into our immune system. being calm and relaxed is better for our physical well-being.

Wars and conflicts begin in the mind, then they are expressed in words and then executed through physical action, so personal transformation is intricately connected with the social and political transformation.
