You are so anxious about the future that you do not enjoy the present. You therefore do not live in the present or the future. You live as if you are never going to die, and then die having never really lived.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
Warm-heartedne ss and concern for others’ well-being are a condition for happiness, whether you are religious or not.
Dalai Lama
We share the earth not only with our fellow human beings, but with all the other creatures.
Dalai Lama
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
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
Dalai Lama
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
I really do not want to carry some kind of party function.
Dalai Lama
The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.
Dalai Lama
Peace of mind is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy mind so peace of mind, a calm mind, is very, very important.
Dalai Lama
Have no discrepancy between what you say, what you are and what you do.
Dalai Lama
Looking at the pattern of our existence from birth to death, we can see the way in which we are fundamentally nurtured by other's affection.
Dalai Lama
We can solve many problems in an appropriate way, without any difficulty, if we cultivate harmony, friendship and respect for one another.
Dalai Lama
There is nothing that does not get easier through cultivation. The buddhas of the past started out as ordinary beings. They were not buddhas in the beginning. The path to buddhahood is traversed only through gradually developing more and more courage and DETERMINATION -then it is attained.
Dalai Lama
The purpose of life is to increase the warm heart.
Dalai Lama
As human beings we have the same experience of destructive and constructive emotions. We also have a human mind capable of developing wisdom. We all have the same Buddha nature.
Dalai Lama
Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the 'enemies' who appear from time to time in our lives.
Dalai Lama
It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.
Dalai Lama
Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.
Dalai Lama
The right way to deal with mental unhappiness must be within the mind too. On an emotional level, anger, fear and worry bring unhappiness. Scientists say they eat into our immune system. On the other hand, we are also equipped with a sense of affection and compassionate concern for the well-being of others.
Dalai Lama
Sleep is the best meditation.
Dalai Lama
