About this Quote

This quote by the Dalai Lama speaks to the power of personal duty. It recommends that when we blame others for our issues, we will experience a great deal of suffering. This is because we are not taking ownership of our own lives and our own actions. On the other hand, when we take obligation for our own lives and our own actions, we can experience both peace and joy. This is because we are no longer blaming others for our problems, but instead taking ownership of our own lives and our own actions. We can then use this newfound sense of duty to make positive changes in our lives and to produce a more serene and happy existence. Taking duty for our own lives is an effective tool that can cause a more satisfying life.
