According to the Dalai Lama, "there are eight mundane concerns that condition our existence." Like and DislikeGain and LossPraise and BlameFame and Disgrace
Getting detached from these 'mundane concerns' does not mean one gets complacent or "sussegad." The Dalai Lama wakes up every day at 4:00 AM and has a busy day attending to his spiritual and physical needs; and the affairs of state (Tibet). According to the Dalai Lama, events in our daily lives reflect the positive and negative thoughts of individuals and leaders who are usually seeking short-term gains. Successful people reflect positive thinking. Tragic events results from negative thinking. "If one let's anger and hatred run loose, one is lost. And no sensible human being wants to get lost."
