More quotes by Dalai Lama
The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.
Dalai Lama
Let us have that kind of effort from all, except those child or handicapped or too old. But the many people, they sort of have the opportunity to create trouble or to create a good thing, now should think more seriously, should not indulge any work to create more problems.
Dalai Lama
I hold the view that death is rather like changing one's clothes when they are torn and old. It is not an end in itself. Yet death is unpredictable-you do not know when and howT it will take place.
Dalai Lama
You cant help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.
Dalai Lama
When ever Buddhism has taken root in a new land, there has been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion and the situation of those who were listening to him.
Dalai Lama
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
Dalai Lama
Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.
Dalai Lama
In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.
Dalai Lama
If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.
Dalai Lama
The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
Dalai Lama
The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.
Dalai Lama
One country ... one ideology, one system is not sufficient. It is helpful to have a variety of different approaches ... We can then make a joint effort to solve the problems of the whole of humankind.
Dalai Lama
Anything that contradicts experience and logic should be abandoned.
Dalai Lama
Many people and companies only have one goal: money, money, and more money. Greed is ok when you let others profit from it, but greed for oneself is bad, it makes you ill.
Dalai Lama
If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.
Dalai Lama
Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.
Dalai Lama
To combat hatred directed toward a person, a Buddhist cultivates loving kindness toward that person.
Dalai Lama
I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.
Dalai Lama
Always engage yourself positively with situations.
Dalai Lama
If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation.
Dalai Lama
