Quote

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

It is the state of mind of the person wielding the instrument that determines to what end it will be put.
Dalai Lama
Image
Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.
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.
Dalai Lama

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
Dalai Lama

Passion is what gives sense to our life.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion should be unbiased and based on the recognition that others have the right to happiness, just like you.
Dalai Lama
Image
The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.
Dalai Lama

Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.

The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.
Dalai Lama
Image
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
Dalai Lama

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.
Dalai Lama

Too strong a media emphasis on death and violence can lead to despair.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today’s interconnected and globalized world, it is now commonplace for people of dissimilar world views, faiths and races to live side by side. It is a matter of great urgency, therefore, that we find ways to cooperate with one another in a spirit of mutual acceptance and respect.
Dalai Lama
Image
The more you nurture a feeling of loving kindness, the happier and calmer you will be.
Dalai Lama
Image
Concern yourselves more with the needs of others, with the needs of all humanity, and you'll have peace of mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things long and short relate to each other, high and low, and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.
Dalai Lama
Image
Many people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our society. If we are truly serious about this, we must deal with the roots of violence, particularly those that exist within each of us. We need to embrace 'inner disarmament,' reducing our own emotions of suspicion, hatred and hostility toward our brothers and sisters
Dalai Lama
Image
One interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, the irony is that even after obtaining the object of your desire you are still not satisfied. The true antidote of greed is contentment.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.
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
