More quotes by Dalai Lama

Image
If we can manage to refrain from harming others in our everyday actions and words, we can start to give more serious attention to actively doing good, and this can be a source of great joy and inner confidence. We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.
Dalai Lama
Image
As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.
Dalai Lama
Image
If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Many people and companies only have one goal: money, money, and more money. Greed is ok when you let others profit from it, but greed for oneself is bad, it makes you ill.
Dalai Lama
Image
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.

I find that because of modern technological evolution and our global economy, and as a result of the great increase in population, our world has greatly changed: it has become much smaller. However, our perceptions have not evolved at the same pace we continue to cling to old national demarcations and the old feelings of 'us' and 'them'.
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

With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

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
We are the creators of our own happiness and suffering, for everything originates in the mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
So the first step in seeking happiness is learning. We first have to learn how negative emotions and behaviors are harmful to us and how positive emotions are helpful.
Dalai Lama
Image
True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness and greed.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion is not helpless pity, but an awareness and determination that demands action.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart.
Dalai Lama

Someone else's action should not determine your response.
