More quotes by Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama
Each individual has a universal responsibility to shape institutions to serve human needs.
Dalai Lama

All human beings have an innate desire to overcome suffering, to find happiness. Training the mind to think differently, through meditation, is one important way to avoid suffering and be happy.
Dalai Lama
Material development alone does not yield genuine inner peace.
Dalai Lama
The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.
Dalai Lama
World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.
Dalai Lama
Different religions meet the needs of different people
Dalai Lama
I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.
