Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Sorry to be a party pooper but...these words are actually from Life's Little Instruction Book, by Jackson Brown and H. Jackson Brown, Jr.. They were falsely attributed to the Dalai Lama around 2000 in a "Good Luck" chain letter that started going around the Internet. For more information see http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/dalai.asp. Don't worry about being taken in, Dora, this list of quotes has had quite a life. But the Dalai Lama has said many wonderful things, just not these. And we do appreciate your love and best wishes!
