Image
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
Dalai Lama
Image
Religion does not mean just precepts, a temple, monastery, or other external signs, for these as well as hearing and thinking are subsidiary factors in taming the mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
Self confidence plays an important part in every aspect of man's life.
Dalai Lama
Image
The purpose of life is to be happy.
Dalai Lama
Image
Too much of a self-centered attitude creates mistrust and suspicion in others, which can in turn lead to fear. But if you have more of an open mind, and you cultivate a sense of concern for others' well-being, then, no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep your inner peace.
Dalai Lama

World peace begins with inner peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
There are a number of qualities which are important for mental peace, but from the little experience I have, I believe that one of the most important factors is human compassion and affection: a sense of caring.
Dalai Lama
Image
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds.
Dalai Lama
Image
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

Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
Dalai Lama
Image
A genuine transformation that results from sustained concerted effort is long lasting because it has a firm foundation.
Dalai Lama
Image
There is no way to escape death, it is just like trying to escape by four great mountains touching sky. There is no escape from these four mountains of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Dalai Lama
Image
The more we feel concern for others and seek their well-being, the more friends we will have and the more welcome we will feel.
Dalai Lama
Image
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.
Dalai Lama
Image
God exists or God does not exist. Leave it for us. Your task is to learn how to live peacefully.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai Lama
Image
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
Dalai Lama
Image
Treat each person as you would an old friend.
Dalai Lama
Image
Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually.
