When seen from outer space, our beautiful blue planet has no national boundaries.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.
Dalai Lama
Image
Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.
Dalai Lama
Image
Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.
Dalai Lama

I feel like my life is something purposeful. Many people have told me that after they listen to my talk, some point which I made, they got certain ideas and their whole life is changed. They are happier.
Dalai Lama

When you talk you are only repeating something you already know. But, if you listen you may learn something new.
Dalai Lama

By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today's highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
Dalai Lama
Image
World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility
Dalai Lama
Image
Our life depends on others so much that at the root of our existence is a fundamental need for love. That is why it is good to cultivate an authentic sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of others.
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
For Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise. China is much bigger, richer, more powerful militarily, and has much better skill in diplomacy. They outdo us in every field. But they have no justice. We have placed our whole faith in truth and in justice. We have nothing else, in principle and in practice.
Dalai Lama
Image
As our own peace of mind grows, so the atmosphere around us becomes more peaceful.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.
Dalai Lama
Image
Happiness is the highest form of health.
Dalai Lama
Image
If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.
Dalai Lama
Image
Education is the way to achieve far-reaching results, it is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society.
