Dalai Lama Quotes about Work

Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.
Dalai Lama

Nowadays, we are confronted by a huge gap between rich and poor. This is not only morally wrong, but practically a mistake. It leads to the rich living in anxiety and the poor living in frustration, which has the potential to lead to more violence. We have to work to reduce this gap. It's truly unfair that some people should have so much while others go hungry.

The nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.
