Serving Others is the Best Life

Serving Others is the Best Life

After teachings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, Rinpoche said the following to the staff at the Dharma center where he had been staying.

Serving others, taking care of others with a good heart, with love and compassion, is the best life. Especially here, your service in looking after others is very important because the people coming here are trying to meditate, to practice Dharma, and trying to liberate themselves from samsara and to achieve enlightenment. Even though you are not actually teaching Dharma, your contribution is similar, since you are helping them get out of samsara and helping them achieve enlightenment.
