We all need basic human values rooted in trust and affection.
Dalai Lama

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.
Dalai Lama

I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.
Dalai Lama

If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation.
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
Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.

There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up.
Dalai Lama
Image
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.
Dalai Lama
Image
... Our individual well-being is intimately connected both with that of all others and with the environment within which we live.... Our every action, our every deed, word, and thought, no matter how slight or inconsequential it may seem, has an implication not only for ourselves, but for all others, too.
Dalai Lama
Image
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.

Sleep is the best meditation.

Compassion and love is the source of external and internal peace and is also the root of racial survival.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.

An eye for an eye....we are all blind

Some people, sweet and attractive, and strong and healthy, happen to die young. They are masters in disguise teaching us about impermanence.
Dalai Lama
Image
Anger or hatred is like a fisherman's hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it.
Dalai Lama
Image
It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?
