Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.
Dalai Lama

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Dalai Lama

What is the relationship between spirituality and ethical practice? Since love and compassion and similar qualities all, by definition, presume some level of concern for others' well-being, they presume ethical restraint. We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.

Genuine harmony must come from the heart. It cannot come from the barrel of a gun.

In order to develop the willpower it takes to sacrifice, you must first realize that spending all your time and energy pursuing material comforts means you will eventually suffer. It's all about positive and negative consequences. It's very important to be aware that there are long-term consequences [for every action].

Spirituality actually must be above politics. Or some other sort of business.
Dalai Lama
Image
When you talk you are only repeating something you already know. But, if you listen you may learn something new.
Dalai Lama
Image
Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance. It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.

Even without a religion, we can become a good human being.
