I'm into the Dalai Lama Quotes.
They consist of 30quotes.
I'm gonna list a few quotes below
frm the Dalai Lama Quotes.
Just wanna share wimma dear readers!

"Old friends pass away, new friends appear.
It is just like the days.
An old day passes, a new day arrives.
The important thing is to make it meaningful:
a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. "

"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them humanity cannot survive. "

"It is very important to generate a good attitude,
a good heart, as much as possible.
From this, happiness in both the short term
and
the long term for both yourself
and others will come. "

"Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes in rebirth or not,
there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate
kindness and compassion. "

"We can live without religion and meditation,
but we cannot survive without human affection. "

Washington, DC –
The House of Representatives approved legislation last night to award the
Congressional Gold Medal
to His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama,
in recognition of his advocacy of
peace, tolerance, human rights, non-violence & compassion
throughout the world.
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.),
who introduced the legislation in the Senate with Senator Craig Thomas (R-Wyo.),
today welcomed the passage of the bill.
The Senate approved the legislation on May 26.
“The Dalai Lama is a worthy recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal.
He is one of the world’s greatest religious leaders
and has used human compassion, courage and conviction
as his tools in carving a path for peace.
For half a century,
he has struggled to better the lives of the Tibetan people.
In doing so,
he has been a shining light
to all those fighting for freedom around the world,”
Senator Feinstein said.
The “Fourteenth Dalai Lama Congressional Gold Medal Act”
was introduced in the House by
Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.)
and
Tom Lantos (D-Calif.).
It passed yesterday evening with a voice vote.
The bill now moves to the President’s desk for his signature.
Congressional Gold Medals require approval from at least two-thirds
of the Members of both the Senate and House of Representatives.
For more than two centuries,
Congress has expressed public gratitude
on behalf of the nation for distinguished contributions
through the occasional commissioning of individual struck gold medals in its name.
This award, which initially was bestowed on military leaders,
has also been given to such diverse individuals as
Sir Winston Churchill and Bob Hope,
George Washington and Robert Frost,
Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa,
and other Nobel Peace Laureates,
such as Elie Wiesel and Nelson Mandela.

As bout the US Presidency Candidates,
Donald Trump & Al-Gore
have decided not to participate in the
US Presidency Candidate Selection.
Al-Gore was once a Vice-President for US
&
he won Nobel Peace Prize award this year
[2007].
He was the organiser for this year's
Green World Concert thingy...
Cant seem to recall the exact name.
But the concert outcome were very positive
and
i believe that the amount of global warming awareness
is increasin each day...
I personally hope that
everyone can do a lil to save our world.
We are not the only one dominating this planet,
there are many other living things
that is surviving together with us, humans.
For example,
we can practise not to use
PLASTIC bags
becuz its nt recycleable.
We shud use paper bags instead~

I knoe my post today is quite politic-ish
but its my sudden interest.
can't help it!
*smirks*

I guess thats all for today.
