His Holiness, the Dalai Lama:
“The basic foundation of humanity is compassion and love. This is why, if even a few individuals simply try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.”

Hello Ward. I've seen this quote several places on the web but can't find anywhere that puts it into the context of when / where the Dalai Lama said it. Do you have any idea?P.S. Hope all is well in Kansas. It's the state where I was born.

Hey Serenity – I'm linking to His Holiness' Google+ feed, but I think that's the Dharmamsala office posting quotes from his published work. I'll see if I can find something more substantial for you.
