Image
I think the person who has had more experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering. From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life.
Dalai Lama
Image
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Dalai Lama
Image
You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
Dalai Lama
Image
During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing the simplest person (clerks, attendants, etc) or people you dislike.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion is something really worthwhile. It is not just a religious or spiritual subject, not a matter of ideology. It is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is a wonderful thing if one can use one's place of work as a place of spiritual practice as well.
Dalai Lama
Image
Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.
Dalai Lama
Image
The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.
Dalai Lama
Image
Helping others is not limited to providing food, shelter, and so forth, but includes relieving the basic causes of suffering and providing the basic causes of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
Dalai Lama
Image
In Buddhism, ignorance as the root cause of suffering refers to a fundamental misperception of the true nature of the self and all phenomena.
Dalai Lama
Image
The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.
Dalai Lama
Image
Certain beliefs must accompany every action: One should act without selfishness, cultivate compassion for all living things, and develop respect for others.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.
Dalai Lama
Image
So long as we are under the control of disturbing emotions, real happiness is hard to find.
Dalai Lama
Image
Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.
Dalai Lama
Image
Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.
Dalai Lama
Image
I am the source of my own suffering, because of the habits of my mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
May I examine my mind in all actions and as soon as a negative state occurs, since it endangers myself and others, may I firmly face and avert it.
Dalai Lama
