Real Care of the Sick
His Holiness the Dalai Lama

‘Real care of the sick does not begin with costly proceedures, but with the simple gift of affection and love.In the practice of healing a kind heart is as valuable as medical training, because it is the source of happiness for both oneself and in others. People respond to kindness even when medicine is ineffective and in turn cultivating a kind heart is a cause of our own good health.’
