This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium, which actually begins 01/01/2001 (and not 01/01/00). All it takes is a few seconds to read and think about. Do not keep this message. The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise. This is true even if you are not superstitious. Instructions for Life in the new millennium from the Dalai Lama: * Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. * When you lose, don't lose the lesson. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions. * Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. * Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. * Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. * When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. * Spend some time alone every day. * Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. * Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. * Live a good, honorable life. Then, when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. * A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. * In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. * Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. * Be gentle with the earth. * Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. * Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. * Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. * Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. ---- Do not keep this message.
