More quotes by Dalai Lama
Samsara - our conditioned existence in the perpetual cycle of habitual tendencies and nirvana - genuine freedom from such an existence- are nothing but different manifestations of a basic continuum. So this continuity of consciousness us always present. This is the meaning of tantra.
Dalai Lama
In the interests of everyone the artist had a responsibility to use his medium well. In the Tibetan culture, most of the paintings are of deities or Buddhas, and they try to send a message of the value of the spiritual.
Dalai Lama
Buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.
Dalai Lama
We know that to wage a nuclear war today, for example, would be a form of suicide or that to pollute the air or the oceans in order to achieve some short-term benefit would be to destroy the very basis for our survival.
Dalai Lama
In our own case, we don't consider the loss of a monastery or a monument the end of our entire way of life. If one monastery is destroyed, sometimes it happens.
Dalai Lama
I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away.
Dalai Lama
Happiness can be achieved through training the mind.
Dalai Lama
It seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless
Dalai Lama
For change to happen in any community, the initiative must come from the individual.
Dalai Lama
If you have a great deal of knowledge, but you're governed by negative emotions, then you tend to use your knowledge in negative ways. Therefore, while you are learning, don't forget the importance of warmheartedness.
Dalai Lama
An enemy is indeed a precious teacher.
Dalai Lama
Not only can I not recall my experiences in my previous lives, sometimes I can't even remember what I did yesterday.
Dalai Lama
Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.
Dalai Lama
Looking at various means of developing compassion, I think empathy is an important factor: the ability to appreciate others' suffering.
Dalai Lama
I have been clear in my position for quite a while, but the Chinese have not responded. Therefore, we are now in the process of holding a referendum on our policy among all the Tibetan community in exile and even inside Tibet, to check whether the majority thinks we are on the right track.
Dalai Lama
If one assumes a humble attitude, one's own good qualities will increase. Whereas if one is proud, one will become jealous of others, one will look down on others, and due to that there will be unhappiness in society.
Dalai Lama
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
Dalai Lama
We must realize that it is best to focus on our oneness, to re emphasize what is the same about each of us rather than dwell on what is different.
Dalai Lama
A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.
Dalai Lama
I think governments can't do much.
