People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn’t cause suffering.

More quotes by Dalai Lama
A human being isn't meant to be some kind of machine designed only for production. No. Human life isn't just for work.
Dalai Lama
It is crucial that we realize the great value of human existence, the opportunity and the potential that our brief lives afford us. It is only as humans that we have the possibility of implementing changes in our lives.
Dalai Lama
If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility
Dalai Lama
We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?
Dalai Lama
Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama
Peace in the world depends on peace in the hearts of individuals this depends on each of us practising ethics by disciplining our negative thoughts and emotions, and developing basic spiritual qualities.
Dalai Lama
Inner darkness, which we call ignorance, is the root of suffering. The more inner light that comes, the more darkness will diminish. This is the only way to achieve salvation or nirvana.
Dalai Lama
I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.
Dalai Lama
When selflessness is seen in objects, the seed of cyclic existence is destroyed.
Dalai Lama
Along with selfishness, anger is one of the most serious problems facing the world today
Dalai Lama
Had Tibet not fallen away from dharma China could not have invaded.
Dalai Lama
I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart.
Dalai Lama
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
Dalai Lama
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, 'I am of no value', is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought — so what are you lacking? If you have will-power , then you can do anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.
Dalai Lama
We cannot learn real patience and tolerance from a guru or a friend. They can be practiced only when we come in contact with someone who creates unpleasant experiences. According to Shantideva, enemies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength.
Dalai Lama
The very purpose of meditation is to discipline the mind and reduce afflictive emotions.
Dalai Lama
Whether someone believes something or not, believer or non-believer, as long as you are a member of the human family, you need warm human feeling, warmhearted feeling.
Dalai Lama
I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.
Dalai Lama
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.
Dalai Lama
