  1. I am very glad to have read your 18 rules for living.What is amazing is that when I reflect those rules to my life I am totally opposite….I think as from now onwards I am going to be on the right track, thank you.

  2. Dalai Lama’s teaching is indeed very meaningful.

    If you like to learn more about his wisdom, then perhaps you can go after his book known as “The Art of Happiness”.

    I bet it’s going to be one of the best self-improvement book you can ever find. The book is not just a combination of words and sentences, but a compilation of experience and wisdom. It’s priceless.
