More quotes by Dalai Lama
The best way of fulfilling your own interest is to take care of others.
Dalai Lama
A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.
Dalai Lama
Wherever I go meeting the public... spreading a message of human values, spreading a message of harmony, is the most important thing.
Dalai Lama
If you want change, create the causes.
Dalai Lama
As far as ignorance is concerned, not just Buddhism, every religion recognizes it as the source of suffering.
Dalai Lama
It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.
Dalai Lama
For Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise. China is much bigger, richer, more powerful militarily, and has much better skill in diplomacy. They outdo us in every field. But they have no justice. We have placed our whole faith in truth and in justice. We have nothing else, in principle and in practice.
Dalai Lama
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Dalai Lama
The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.
Dalai Lama
Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.
Dalai Lama
Now you are on the Buddhist way. Keep up your meditation, as there is no instant illumination. The mind moves slowly into this. Do not become attached to your method. When, in the course of your meditation, your consciousness will have expanded and been transformed, you will then recognize that all the ways are valid ways.
Dalai Lama
In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.
Dalai Lama
We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity.
Dalai Lama
Mental happiness is more important than physical comfort. Physical comfort comes from the material. But material facilities cannot provide you with peace of mind.
Dalai Lama
Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
Dalai Lama
In today's highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
Dalai Lama
We have to make a sustained effort, again and again, to cultivate the positive aspects within us.
Dalai Lama
Now is the time when your action is practice.
Dalai Lama
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
Dalai Lama
Not only is your own happiness and welfare related to others, but the more you help them, the happier you will be.
Dalai Lama
