This beautiful story is from the archives. In 2013 the Dalai Lama made a unique visit to the Exodus Foundation in Suburban Ashfield where he ate with the homeless. For Reverend Bill it was a special occasion, with much apprehension as to how the big event would all go.

Dalai Lama XIV

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

“Love is the absence of judgment.”

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”

“There is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.”

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”
