Hi All!

 

I thought this would be of interest to many

of us on the list, so I am forwarding it.

 

This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium, which begins

01/01/2001. All it takes is a few seconds to read and think about. Do

not keep this message. This mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours.

You will get a very pleasant surprise. This is true even if you are not

superstitious.

 

Instructions for Life in the new millennium from the Dalai Lama:

 

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve

great risk.

 

2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

 

3. Follow the three R's:

Respect for self

Respect for others

Responsibility for all your actions

 

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful

stroke of luck.

 

5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

 

6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

 

7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to

correct it.

 

8. Spend some time alone every day.

 

9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

 

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

 

11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think

back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

 

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

 

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current

situation. Don't bring up the past.

 

14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

 

15. Be gentle with the earth.

 

16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

 

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for

each other exceeds your need for each other.

 

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

 

19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

 

 

Regards,

Manju
