The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life.
Dalai Lama
Image
I met an American lady many years ago, much distant. Then I told her about my own difficult experiences and I showed some genuine concern. She responded, Why are you so concerned about me? We need more patience. At a fundamental level, we are the same human brothers and sisters. Then forget it. The human mind is very strange. Like that.

If there's good, strong evidence from science that such and such is the case and this is contrary to Buddhism, then we will change.
Dalai Lama

I consider myself as a free spokesman for the people.
Dalai Lama

I don't want to be a prisoner in a palace, living in such a constricted way - too tight!

Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.
Dalai Lama

When a certain community is destroyed, in reality it destroys a part of all of us. So there should be a clear recognition that the entire humanity is just one family. Any conflict within humanity should be considered as a family conflict. We must find a solution within this atmosphere.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion and love give meaning to our activities and makes them constructive.
Dalai Lama
Image
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.
Dalai Lama
Image
My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
Image
Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
Dalai Lama
Image
Blessings don’t come from outside, but from within. Whatever blessings we receive are the result of our own efforts and positive actions.
Dalai Lama
Image
I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world.
Dalai Lama
Image
... Our individual well-being is intimately connected both with that of all others and with the environment within which we live.... Our every action, our every deed, word, and thought, no matter how slight or inconsequential it may seem, has an implication not only for ourselves, but for all others, too.
