Although it is difficult to pinpoint the physical base or location of awareness, it is perhaps the most precious thing concealed within our brains. And it is something that the individual alone can feel and experience. Each of us cherishes it highly, yet it is private.
Dalai Lama
Image
Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.
Dalai Lama
Image
Tolerance and patience should not be read as signs of weakness. They are signs of strength.
Dalai Lama
Image
Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
Dalai Lama
Image
Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.
Dalai Lama
Image
If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.
Dalai Lama
Image
For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
We cannot overcome anger and hatred simply by suppressing them. We need to actively cultivate the antidotes: patience and tolerance.
Dalai Lama
Image
My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.

Unlike physical progress, which is subject to natural restrictions, the qualities of the mind can be developed limitlessly.
Dalai Lama
Image
Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible. And if we cannot help others, at least we should try not to create pain and suffering for them.
Dalai Lama
Image
We have to have some form of politics. Politics is a form of resolving conflicts. Politics which comes from sincere motivation is constructive.
Dalai Lama
Image
My earnest request is that you practice love and kindness whether you believe in a religion or not
Dalai Lama
Image
In today’s interconnected and globalized world, it is now commonplace for people of dissimilar world views, faiths and races to live side by side. It is a matter of great urgency, therefore, that we find ways to cooperate with one another in a spirit of mutual acceptance and respect.
Dalai Lama
Image
The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
Dalai Lama
Image
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.
Dalai Lama
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
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
True change is within leave the outside as it is.
Dalai Lama
Image
Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.
