More quotes by Dalai Lama
It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?
Dalai Lama
Samsara - our conditioned existence in the perpetual cycle of habitual tendencies and nirvana - genuine freedom from such an existence- are nothing but different manifestations of a basic continuum. So this continuity of consciousness us always present. This is the meaning of tantra.
Dalai Lama
War is out of date, obsolete.
Dalai Lama
We can't blame the entire Muslim society because of the mischievous acts of a few individuals. Therefore, at the general public level we must cultivate the notion of not just one religion, one truth, but pluralism and many truths. We can change the atmosphere, and we can modify certain ways of thinking.

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.
Dalai Lama
If there is a solution to a problem, there is no need to worry. And if there is no solution, there is no need to worry.
Dalai Lama
Anger is the ultimate destroyer of your own peace of mind
Dalai Lama
Anger or hatred is like a fisherman's hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it.
Dalai Lama
A calm mind is good for our physical health, but it also enables us to see things more realistically.
Dalai Lama
We cannot overcome anger and hatred simply by suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate the antidotes: patience and tolerance.
Dalai Lama
While it is all very well to distinguish happiness that is transient from that which is lasting, between ephemeral and genuine happiness, the only happiness it is meaningful to speak of when a person is dying from thirst is access to water.
Dalai Lama
It does not matter whether you are a theist or atheist, what matters is sincerity, forgiveness, and compassion.
Dalai Lama
