The Dalai Lama has three commitments in life — they shape his vision for the world.

His Holiness shares those value with everyone he meets. He doesn’t want to impose his principles though.

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

When asked about his commitments, Dalai Lama’s response couldn’t be wiser. It’s not surprising, but it makes a lot of sense. The secret lies in the order.

How Dalai Lama prioritizes his life should guide our decisions and choices.
