Of Basic Importance

There are many different philosophies, but what is of basic importance is compassion, love for others, concern for others' suffering, and reduction of selfishness.
-Dalai Lama

If you help others with sincere motivation and sincere concern, that will bring you more fortune, more friends, more smiles, and more success.  If you forget about others' rights and neglect others' welfare, ultimately you will be very lonely.
Dalai Lama
