It is not only our right as members of the global human family to protest when our brothers and sisters are being treated brutally, but it is also our duty to do whatever we can to hep them.
Dalai Lama
Image
I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution.

In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger.

By this means even anger can be diminished.
Dalai Lama

Material development alone does not yield genuine inner peace.
Dalai Lama

If you wonder what you were doing in the past, look at your body to know what will happen to you in the future, look at your mind.

Some consider me as a living Buddha. That's nonsense. That's silly. That's wrong. If they consider me a simple Buddhist monk, however, that's probably okay.
Dalai Lama
Image
An ethical act is one which does not harm others' experience or expectation of happiness.
