More quotes by Dalai Lama
After I handed over all my authority, I feel now our struggle [for Tibet ] become much, much safer. And me personally, the day I officially handed over, that night, very unusual sound. I am quite free now.
Dalai Lama
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
Dalai Lama
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.
Dalai Lama
My religion is kindness. A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings these are the most important things.
Dalai Lama
I believe all religions pursue the same goals, that of cultivating human goodness and bringing happiness to all human beings. Though the means might appear different the ends are the same.
Dalai Lama
There are a number of qualities which are important for mental peace, but from the little experience I have, I believe that one of the most important factors is human compassion and affection: a sense of caring.
Dalai Lama
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.
Dalai Lama
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
In some places, there's the concept of one religion, one truth. In the Muslim world, there's the notion of Allah. The Western, multireligious modern society is some kind of a challenge to this. These, I feel, are the main causes [for terrorism], and, when combined with lots of anger and frustration, cause a huge amount of hate.
Dalai Lama
Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.
Dalai Lama
People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn’t cause suffering.
Dalai Lama
To me there is no difference whether president, beggar, or king.
Dalai Lama
Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.
Dalai Lama
If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.
Dalai Lama
Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.
Dalai Lama
I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable to you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is of no use, then you can discard it.
Dalai Lama
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
Dalai Lama
I have been confronted with many difficulties throughout the course of my life, and my country is going through a critical period. But I laugh often, and my laughter is contagious. When people ask me how I find the strength to laugh now, I reply that I am a professional laugher.
Dalai Lama
Today, due to the massive Chinese population transfer, the nation of Tibet truly faces the threat of extinction, along with its unique cultural heritage of Buddhist spirituality.
Dalai Lama
Every man has the basis of good. Not only human beings, you can find it among animals and insects, for instance, when we treat a dog or horse lovingly.
