“Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.”

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He has lived in exile in Dharamshala, India, since 1959 and is known worldwide for his teachings on compassion. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
