I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.

Some people get the impression that Buddhism talks too much about suffering. In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time. Similarly, the Buddhist is willing to sacrifice immediate comfort so that he or she can achieve lasting happiness.

Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.
Dalai Lama

Human beings are of such nature that they should have not only material facilities but spiritual sustenance as well. Without spiritual sustenance, it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind.
Dalai Lama
Image
A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.
Dalai Lama
Image
All sentient beings have the seed of the Buddha within them.
Dalai Lama
Image
My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.
Dalai Lama
Image
In twenty years' time I'll be eighty-three, just an old man with a stick moving like a sloth bear. While I'm alive, I am fully committed to autonomy, and I am the person who can persuade the Tibetan people to accept it.
Dalai Lama
Image
Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
Dalai Lama
Image
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
