I am not promoting Buddhism. I am promoting human values.
Dalai Lama

As soon as I wake up I pay homage to the Buddha, and I try to prepare my mind to be more altruistic, more compassionate, during the day to come so I can be of benefit to beings. Then I do physical exersice - I walk on a treadmill.

Anger, pride and competence are our real enemies.
Dalai Lama

Compassion can be roughly defined in terms of a state of mind that is nonviolent, nonharming, and nonaggressive. It is a mental attitude based on the wish for others to be free of their suffering and is associated with a sense of commitment, responsibility, and respect towards others.

It is very wrong for people to feel deeply sad when they lose some money, yet when they waste the precious moments of their lives they do not have the slightest feeling of repentance.
Dalai Lama
Image
The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.
Dalai Lama
Image
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves.
Dalai Lama
Image
If there is a solution to a problem, there is no need to worry. And if there is no solution, there is no need to worry.
Dalai Lama
Image
Even without a religion, we can become a good human being.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anything that contradicts experience and logic should be abandoned.
Dalai Lama
Image
I am the source of my own suffering, because of the habits of my mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
Without your own effort it is impossible for blessings to come.
Dalai Lama
Image
Prayer alone will not make a happy life. A happy life must be built. You must act.
Dalai Lama
Image
Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
