Image
My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.
Dalai Lama
Image
If one assumes a humble attitude, one's own good qualities will increase. Whereas if one is proud, one will become jealous of others, one will look down on others, and due to that there will be unhappiness in society.
Dalai Lama
Image
I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.
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
It is natural that we face obstacles in pursuit of our goals. But if we remain passive, making no effort to solve the problems we meet, conflicts will arise and hindrances will grow. Transforming these obstacles into opportunities is a challenge to our human ingenuity.
Dalai Lama
Image
The more we are concerned for the well being of others, the closer we will feel to each other.
Dalai Lama
Image
Now is the time when your action is practice.
Dalai Lama
Image
Any issue, including political, economic and religious activities human beings pursue in this world, should be fully understood before we pass our judgement. Therefore, it is very important to know the causes. Whatever the issue, we should be able to see the complete picture. This will enable us to comprehend the whole story.
Dalai Lama
Image
Spirituality actually must be above politics. Or some other sort of business.
Dalai Lama
Image
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we develop concern for other people's welfare, share other people's suffering, and help them, ultimately we will benefit. If we think only of ourselves and forget about others, ultimately we will lose. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.
Dalai Lama
Image
You need self-confidence and determination: feeling depressed and losing hope will never really help to correct any situation.
Dalai Lama
Image
If a harmonious relationship is established amongst societies and religious beliefs in today's multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural world, then it will surely set a very good example for others.
Dalai Lama
Image
Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance. It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
On every level of human life, compassion is the key thing.
Dalai Lama
Image
Although it is difficult to pinpoint the physical base or location of awareness, it is perhaps the most precious thing concealed within our brains. And it is something that the individual alone can feel and experience. Each of us cherishes it highly, yet it is private.
Dalai Lama
Image
Inner darkness, which we call ignorance, is the root of suffering. The more inner light that comes, the more darkness will diminish. This is the only way to achieve salvation or nirvana.
Dalai Lama
Image
World economies are always so tenuous and we are subject to so many losses in life, but a compassionate attitude is something we can always carry with us.
Dalai Lama
Image
The female biologically [has] more potential to show affection and compassion.

Different religions meet the needs of different people
