quote from preface of: "The Wisdom of Compassion" by the Dalai Lama: a book on page xii of the Preface:
Begin quote: The Dalai Lama believes that our purpose in life is to be happy. He was 32 after years of perseverance, he arrived at a profound understanding of compassion. "Since that time my mind became familiar with the feeling of compassion, that feeling very strong. Often when I reflect on the meaning and benefits of altruistic mind, tears come." The Dalai Lama has arrived at a key insight
that by cultivating compassion, we achieve ultimate happiness for ourselves. He calls this "wise selfish". end quote.
