Many people think that patience is a sign of weakness. I think this is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength
Dalai Lama
Image
It is our custom to say that someone is 'lucky' or 'unlucky' if they meet with fortunate or unfortunate circumstances, respectively. It is, however, too simplistic to think in terms of random 'luck.' Even from a scientific point of view, this is not a sufficient explanation.
Dalai Lama

Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.

Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.

I believe all religions pursue the same goals, that of cultivating human goodness and bringing happiness to all human beings. Though the means might appear different the ends are the same.
Dalai Lama
Image
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.

You're happy when you help others become happy.

More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
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.

The immediate source of a mind... must be a mind which existed before the conception took place the mind must have a continuity from a previous mind. This we hold to prove the existence of a past life.
Dalai Lama
Image
We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
Dalai Lama
Image
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Rulers come and go. It's the people who are the real rulers of the country.
Dalai Lama
Image
We cannot learn real patience and tolerance from a guru or a friend. They can be practiced only when we come in contact with someone who creates unpleasant experiences. According to Shantideva, enemies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength.
Dalai Lama
Image
Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
Tolerance and patience should not be read as signs of weakness. They are signs of strength.
Dalai Lama
Image
Instead of wondering WHY this is happening to you, consider why this is happening to YOU.
Dalai Lama
Image
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
Image
Buddha himself taught different teachings to different people under different circumstances. For some people, there are beliefs based on a Creator. For others, no Creator. The only definitive truth for Buddhism is the absolute negation of any one truth as the Definitive Truth.

Women have the capacity to lead us to a more peaceful world with compassion, affection, and kindness.
