love, and kindness. Compassion can be put into practiceif one recognizes the fact that every human being is a member of humanity and the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color, and creed. Deep down there is no difference." "We should try never to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed. Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past, there is no reason to be unhappy. If we can remedy it, why be unhappy? And if we cannot, what use is there in being depressed about it? That just adds more unhappiness and does no good at all." "By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare, we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems, and enhance our sense of kindness which is a natural source of goodness."
-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people, and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
May all beings be happy.
May they be joyous and live in safety. All living beings, whether weak or strong,
in high or middle or low realms of existence,small or great, visible or invisible, near or far, born or to be born, Let no one deceive another, nor despise
any being in any state;
Let none by anger or hatred
wish harm to another.
Even as a mother at the risk
of her life watches over and protects her only child,
so with a boundless mind should one cherish all living things,suffusing love over the entire world, above, below, and all around, without limit;
so let one cultivate an infinite good will toward the whole world.

And, No one shall:

Human rights ensure that BY LAW all human
beings are born free and equal in dignity and
rights. They are endowed with reason and
conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
