More quotes by Dalai Lama
Peace isn't the mere absence of violence peace must come from inner peace. And inner peace comes from taking others’ interests into account.

Ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else. The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
Dalai Lama
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
Dalai Lama
The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.

Dalai Lama
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.
Dalai Lama
I think when religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism - as well as Christianity and Judaism - were founded, at that time societies were generally male-dominated. So, therefore this social notion also influenced religion.
Dalai Lama
I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend [with dignity, with honor].
Dalai Lama
If we develop concern for other people's welfare, share other people's suffering, and help them, ultimately we will benefit. If we think only of ourselves and forget about others, ultimately we will lose. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.
Dalai Lama
Try to improve. Don't expect too much, but don't feel discouraged either keep up your enthusiasm you will make progress.
Dalai Lama
If we continue to approach problems from the perspective of temporary expediency, future generations will face tremendous difficulties.
Dalai Lama
In some cases is keeping your mouth shut the best answer.
