A Poem by His Holiness The XIV Dalai Lama


Never give up

No matter what is going on

Never give up

Develop the heart

Too much energy in you country is spent

developing the mind, instead of the heart

Develop the heart

Be compassionate

Not just to your friends

but to everyone

Be compassionate

Work for peace

In your heart and in the world

Work for peace

And I say again

Never give up

No matter what is happening

No matter what is going on around you

Never give up.
