More quotes by Dalai Lama

Image
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.
Dalai Lama
Image
Forming a new world religion is difficult and not particularly desirable. However, in that love is essential to all religions, one could speak of the universal religion of love.
Dalai Lama
Image
In today’s interconnected and globalized world, it is now commonplace for people of dissimilar world views, faiths and races to live side by side. It is a matter of great urgency, therefore, that we find ways to cooperate with one another in a spirit of mutual acceptance and respect.
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
A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.
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.
Dalai Lama

Life does not wait: Whether we spend our lives meaningfully or not, the time will be used up moment by moment.
Dalai Lama

On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.
Dalai Lama
Image
Not only is your own happiness and welfare related to others, but the more you help them, the happier you will be.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is... very helpful to think of adversity not so much as a threat to our peace of mind but rather as the very means by which patience is attained.
Dalai Lama
Image
We have to have some form of politics. Politics is a form of resolving conflicts. Politics which comes from sincere motivation is constructive.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger, hatred, fear, is very bad for our health
Dalai Lama
Image
Some people get the impression that Buddhism talks too much about suffering. In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time. Similarly, the Buddhist is willing to sacrifice immediate comfort so that he or she can achieve lasting happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even without a religion, we can become a good human being.
Dalai Lama
Image
Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.
Dalai Lama
Image
The important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good.
Dalai Lama
Image
We had a rule in Tibet that anyone proposing a new invention had to guarentee that it was beneficial, or at least harmless, for seven generations of humans before it could be adopted.
Dalai Lama
Image
We live within the environment. So that directly relates with our survival, our life. So through that way, more concern of well being of humanity, then naturally concerned about environment.
