More quotes by Dalai Lama
Each one of us is responsible for the whole of humankind. We need to think of each other really as brothers and sisters and to be concerned for each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something directed seriously towards the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Dalai Lama
You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
Dalai Lama
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
Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility... Without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed or unhappy because of circumstances.
Dalai Lama
Determination, with an optimistic attitude is the key to success.
Dalai Lama
In the modern world, the interests of a particular community can no longer be considered to lie within the confines of its own boundaries.
Dalai Lama
I think technology really increased human ability, but technology cannot produce compassion.
Dalai Lama
A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.
Dalai Lama
My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.
Dalai Lama
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
Dalai Lama
I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence we must learn to use it.
Dalai Lama
The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.
Dalai Lama
The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.
Dalai Lama
Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that's important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.
Dalai Lama
Gratitude is something you show in relation to others.
Dalai Lama
A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
Dalai Lama
I think the person who has had more experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering. From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life.
Dalai Lama
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare.
Dalai Lama
Violence will only increase the cycle of violence.
Dalai Lama
The affection is mainly biological factor. Then further sort of strengthening, that religion helps.
