More quotes by Dalai Lama
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
Dalai Lama
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
Dalai Lama
It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?
Dalai Lama
Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal.
Dalai Lama
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama
I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.
Dalai Lama
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
As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.
Dalai Lama
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
Dalai Lama
Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
Dalai Lama
Compassion and love is the source of external and internal peace and is also the root of racial survival.
Dalai Lama
The question of world peace, the question of family peace, the question of peace between wife and husband, or peace between parents and children, everything is dependent on that feeling of love and warmheartedness.
Dalai Lama
Religious belief is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness.
Dalai Lama
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
Dalai Lama
For change to happen in any community, the initiative must come from the individual.
Dalai Lama
A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning it is the root of all human happiness
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
With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.
Dalai Lama
Buddhahood is a state free of all obstructions to knowledge and disturbing emotions. It is the state in which the mind is fully evolved.
Dalai Lama
I consider others as just brothers and sisters. Nothing barrier.
Dalai Lama
