"We pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted." - Dalai Lama

Just had to blast this!

From Time Magazine's 10 Questions. His Holiness has a new book out, Toward a True Kinship of Faiths. The Dalai Lama will now take your questions ("10 Questions." 4)*

Excerpt:

Q: How can we teach our children not to be angry? - Robyn Rice, Grand Junction, COLO.

A: "Children always look to their parents. Parents should be more calm. You can teach children that you face a lot of problems but you must react to those problems with a calm mind and reason. I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted." - Dalai Lama
