The key to human happiness lies within our own state of mind, and so too do the primary obstacles to that happiness.
Dalai Lama
Image
If we continue to approach problems from the perspective of temporary expediency, future generations will face tremendous difficulties.
Dalai Lama
Image
Death and dying provide a meeting-point between the Tibetan Buddhist and modern scientific traditions. I believe both have a great deal to contribute to each other on the level of understanding and of practical benefit.
Dalai Lama
Image
[Animals] appreciate others' affection, they also have the sort of ability to show their own affection. And then as soon as we're born, child, no religious faith.
Dalai Lama
Image
I am simply just one monk. That's all.
Dalai Lama
Image
Everything is interconnected. My interest is linked to everyone else's. Our survival and future are linked. Therefore the destruction of your so-called enemy is actually the destruction of your self.
Dalai Lama
Image
We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?
Dalai Lama
Image
The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.
Dalai Lama
Image
To me there is no difference whether president, beggar, or king.
Dalai Lama
Image
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is crucial that we realize the great value of human existence, the opportunity and the potential that our brief lives afford us. It is only as humans that we have the possibility of implementing changes in our lives.
Dalai Lama
Image
You need self-confidence and determination: feeling depressed and losing hope will never really help to correct any situation.
Dalai Lama
Image
Yet even the rich have their own kind of suffering, anxiety, doubt, and fear. So in many cases, wealthy people aren't happy! And once those with material wealth encounter small difficulties, their amount of mental suffering is sometimes bigger than it is for those who have faced such difficulties every day.
Dalai Lama
Image
All beings come from a mother's womb. We should have a clear realization of the oneness of all humanity.
Dalai Lama
Image
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.
Dalai Lama
Image
I remain convinced that most human conflicts can be solved through genuine dialogue conducted with a spirit of openness and reconciliation.
Dalai Lama
Image
It is my dream that the entire Tibetan plateau should become a free refuge where humanity and nature can live in peace and in harmonious balance. It would be a place where people from all over the world could come to seek the true meaning of peace within themselves, away from the tensions and pressures of much of the rest of the world
Dalai Lama
Image
The more we feel concern for others and seek their well-being, the more friends we will have and the more welcome we will feel.
Dalai Lama
Image
Compassion should be unbiased and based on the recognition that others have the right to happiness, just like you.
Dalai Lama
Image
The basis of human rights is happy life. Everyone wants to lead a happy life for which we need to have a holistic approach.
