More quotes by Dalai Lama

Image
Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness.
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 can change society, change humanity by changing ourselves as individuals. By cultivating inner values, we can change our own lives and those of our families. This is how we can create a more peaceful world.
Dalai Lama
Image
The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: 'Do not harm others.'
Dalai Lama
Image
Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being. The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.
Dalai Lama
Image
I have been clear in my position for quite a while, but the Chinese have not responded. Therefore, we are now in the process of holding a referendum on our policy among all the Tibetan community in exile and even inside Tibet, to check whether the majority thinks we are on the right track.
Dalai Lama
Image
There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.
Dalai Lama
Image
Some consider me as a living Buddha. That's nonsense. That's silly. That's wrong. If they consider me a simple Buddhist monk, however, that's probably okay.
Dalai Lama
Image
We have made a great effort to maintain all levels of Buddhist education it has helped us have a kind of renaissance, really.
Dalai Lama

Different religions meet the needs of different people
Dalai Lama
Image
It is not enough to belong to a religion. You also have to put it into practice. Religion is like medicine. You have to ingest it to combat the illness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Everybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible.
Dalai Lama
Image
Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.
Dalai Lama
Image
When a person is in a miserable situation, then, yes, it is difficult to develop genuine compassion toward others. That's why I find it difficult to say to poor people, Please have compassion toward millionaires. That's not easy.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.
Dalai Lama
Image
To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.
Dalai Lama
Image
The nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.
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

A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning it is the root of all human happiness
