The person who received maximum affection from mother, that person also sort of cultivated the potential showing affection to others.
Dalai Lama
Image
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.
Dalai Lama
Image
Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.
Dalai Lama

Silence is sometimes the best answer
Dalai Lama
Image
It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.
Dalai Lama
Image
We all need basic human values rooted in trust and affection.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I'm not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I'm not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.

Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity to face it, to demonstrate and develop our will and determination.
Dalai Lama
Image
Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.
Dalai Lama
Image
Sectarian feelings and criticism of other teachings or other sects is very bad, poisonous, and should be avoided.
Dalai Lama
Image
pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements more experts,but more problems more medicines but less health.
Dalai Lama
Image
I only escaped from Tibet because I feared my people would resort to desperate violence if the Chinese took me as their prisoner.
Dalai Lama
Image
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Your friend, your enemy, your neutral all are equal. Genuine compassion is unbiased.
Dalai Lama
Image
Forget the failures. Keep the lessons.
