More quotes by Dalai Lama
I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.
Dalai Lama
We can wake ourselves up, discover in ourselves an energy that was hidden there, and act with more clarity, more force.
Dalai Lama
Our love could change the orbit of the earth. So, if a meteor ever comes hurtling towards earth with the guarantee of destruction, top scientists may call on us to, well, you know, do it like crazy for the sake of humankind.
Dalai Lama
If we make consistent effort, based on proper education, we can change the world.
Dalai Lama
The more you nurture a feeling of loving kindness, the happier and calmer you will be.
Dalai Lama
The jealousy that arises from another's achievement is overcome by developing an awareness of and admiration for one's own and other's achievement.
Dalai Lama
How can we eliminate the deepest source of all unsatisfactory experience? Only by cultivating certain qualities within our mindstream.
Dalai Lama
If you want to be wisely selfish, care for others
Dalai Lama
An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.
Dalai Lama
Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
Dalai Lama
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.
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
Have no discrepancy between what you say, what you are and what you do.
Dalai Lama
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
We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep in mind the interests of others. We cannot destroy our neighours! We cannot ignore their interests!
Dalai Lama
When seen from outer space, our beautiful blue planet has no national boundaries.
Dalai Lama
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.
Dalai Lama
One who is caught in thought loses one's original nature. All he knows are words and descriptions. When he sees the actual thing, he fails to perceive it.
Dalai Lama
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
The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.
