温かい心 Warm heart

"Warm-heartedness is the key factor that allows me to smile and be happy, even in the company of strangers."
(From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's tweet on August 26, 2013)

温かい心は、見知らぬ人の集団の中でさえ、私を微笑ませ幸福にしてくれる重要な要素です。(超訳)

Genuine smile is a sign of compassion which is based on warm heart. Cold-hearted persons can't smile from the bottom of their heart. If we just smile, our destructive emotions will vanish. (My commentary)
Cf. http://www.slideshare.net/compassion5151/power-of-smile-english

純粋な笑顔は温かい心に基づく思いやりの印です。冷たい心の人は心の底から微笑むことができません。ただ微笑むだけで、私たちの破壊的感情は吹き飛びます。(解説)
